Overview
Great afternoon out! Went round as much of the museum as is accessible.
Transport & Parking
Public transport to nearby leaves something to be desired with the exception of the 303 bus. Recently the roads and pavements around the museum seem to have been re-tarmaced meaning it's quite a smooth journey although bit of a detour for a dropped kerb to start.
Access
Everything was accessible pretty much except steps up to see inside cockpits, not sure if there's a reason they couldn't incorporate that in the future hopefully. I found on the whole getting around easy apart from heavy doors at the entrance to one of the hangers. All the lifts that I found were working too. Displays are nearly all readable easilly from seated position. Half a star is deducted for the annoyingly heavy door encountered.
Toilets
One of the accessible toilets in the big hanger has a sliding door and isn't the best for manoeuvring otherwise no issues. All toilets seemed clean with inspection sheets showing checks of the facility. The Changing Places (no key required!) was well hidden and entry via a manual door but very easy to open and close and was immaculate. Not sure maybe if the bins could be better placed?
