To deliver a full upgrade of the Aircraft Carrier Experience at the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

The upgraded experience will immerse our visitors in the sights, sounds and smells of carrier flight and in the complexity of carrier operations.

It will connect the heyday of jet aviation to the operations and deployment of the Queen Elizabeth Class carriers and F35 aircraft which will be the heart of the Royal Navy from [2021] onwards.

The upgrade will create a new immersive experience which blends the best of digital technology with the scale of a carrier flight deck and our incredible aircraft.

It will showcase the Fleet Air Arm's 'Air Power from the Sea' in past, present and future.

It will provide an inspirational, unforgettable visitor experience.
