“Solway Aviation Museum is a well-maintained museum in Carlisle, UK. The museum is home to over twenty aircraft, with the star of the displays being the Avro Vulcan XJ823, a B2 MRR variant. Visitors are allowed into the cockpit for a guided tour during regular days. Solway Aviation Museum provides a one-way system for safety, allowing visitors to see some of the aircraft on certain occasions. Inside the museum, you will walk through a WW2 air raid shelter, returning to 1941. There are also displays of RAF Crosby and aircraft armaments. Moving through the gift shop, you arrive at the aircraft engine area with displays ranging from early piston engines to powerful jet engines, and then you enter the Bluestreak Rocket room with displays of the British rocket program of the ’50s & ’60s.”
