Aircraft Museums outside of the USA (grouped by country)
The countries are presented in alphabetical order in English and their native language is provided where practical. Locations are as accurate as possible, at times they are exact and at times they are general — with a few being very general. Amazingly, there are 60+ countries (including a protectorate) listed which have an incredible total of 233+ museums between them. Remember that all of them, and many other towns, have individual static aircraft displays or memorials — so it is good to keep a weather eye when out and about!

Thanks for the valuable information and from a person who would know
Joe
Ah! What a worthy list…
Please try and visit (after obtaining suitably LARGE infusion into your bank account), the following…..
MNA (Argentina) – IAE Pulqui 1, IAE Pulqui II (designed by Kurt Tank of FW190 fame), Avro Lincoln B.2 (!!)
Finnish Aviation Museum, Vantaa (Finland) – Bristol Blenheim 1, VL Pyry II (rare WW2 types)
National Museum of Flight, East Fortune (Scotland) – ONLY large piece of the Bristol Brabazon programme left – a main undercarriage wheel!
Newark Air Museum, Notts (UK) – remains of VERY early jet airliner, Avro Ashton (fuselage); H. P. Hastings! (watch for pics on Shortfinals)
Yorkshire Air Museum – only restored H. P Hastings! (Mk II fuselage, plus donated wings from Hastings = Mk III !), DH Mosquito NFII
Cheers!
Thanks for reminding us about the importance of travel to see the rare, unusual and historic aircraft. There are so many, thankfully, aren’t there?
Sorry, I was so excited that I wrote ‘only restored H. P Hastings’ when I meant H. P Halifax…..(using Hastings wings, of course)
Several weeks ago we found ourselves in a situation where we needed to get from Bideford in North Devon to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, actually we needed to be dropped off just outside of that area, The traffic on the motorways was crazy, but we got there In the end…Its been a while since we used a taxi for such a journey and I just wanted to say thanks to the guy for not charging what the meter said…is it the fuel costs that set what the charges are??
for Thailand you could maby add:
Nakhon Chaisi, Jesada Technik Museum (Main Site) [13.812071°, 100.197243°]:
I will be happy to do so — and thanks so much for your suggestion
I will need a day or so to add this museum to this list and the coordinates are a welcome help.
