We would really appreciate it
Free 🤩 that makes this museum even better 👍 It is amazing how good free museums are, I find that there sometimes way better then the pricey ones 😎

That looks like a fantastic museum and amazing that it's free! Being able to enter inside the Vulcan was really interesting, so many instruments. This would make a great day out for children!
Yes it is very well done and lots of interest. Kids would definitely enjoy it too.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️

🛩️🛩️
Great tour. Looks well worth a visit and a donation. The volunteers seemed very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Some cool looking old planes 👍
It was very good Paul. Great staff and laid out really well. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That is so cool. I love anything that has to do with planes and anything that flies. HAHAHA. LIKE 53. 👍👍👍
Glad you liked it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Great tour! This was well worth a visit and made for a very interesting video. It’s a great plus to have such knowledgeable volunteers there. Very enjoyable, thanks for the show, two thumbs up,👍👍
Thanks Dave. Yes I agree. Everyone was really passionate and knew every question we asked. Glad you liked it. Thanks for coming along. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
A fascinating look at the jet age museum, that man was a fountain of knowledge 👍
Thanks yes he talked for a long time and was fascinating. Ex serviceman and pilot.
Wow. Thats my kind of place. So many vintage planes, models, pictures and artifacts of yesteryear.
Great that you can climb inside some airplanes and get up-close. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a great day.
Glad you enjoyed seeing it. It is a very good museum and interesting to explore.
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Looking forward to it 😊
Nice museum of old war aircraft and others . Lovely miniature aircraft displayed behind the glasses .
So Kim took a break and Ellie took over 😉👍
Was there a mistake in your tittle …Musuem …Lol !🤪…we all do mistakes 😉👍
Have a great weekend

Arggh. Very well spotted Serge. It doesn’t seem to have been noticed by anyone else. So good spot there. We are away at the moment so it will have to wait for me to change it. Kim was at work so Ellie joined us instead. ( Big Sis ). Take care both. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto 🤪😉👍
It looks really interesting. I love to visit places like it.
Thank you yes it is a very interesting place. I am glad you liked seeing it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Wow - very cool! Looks like a great place to visit with the family! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. We will keep getting out and about for sure. Keep wandering. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Watto & Kim.
Excellent video Watto. Interesting walk about the museum and some of the history of the machines. Was not aware there were jets in WWII! Surely they must've been a feared commodity. Looking at the cockpits it is amazing these things actually flew. Neat that they found a bomb and defused it and is now on display. Thanks for sharing this little bit of Gloucester with us.
You are welcome mate. I think the latter part of the war saw the first use of the jet. So yeah would have been pretty scary for the enemy. Glad you enjoyed seeing it. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That is the type of museum I like!! Wonderful wander and super interesting. I can't believe that they got 5 guys in that cockpit!! Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it. We had a very interesting visit. Take care Becca 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Like 43 👍
Hello from Naples, Florida. Wow, what a neat place to visit. Love that you can walk around inside the cockpit. Thank you so much for taking us on the tour. Have a great weekend. 💯
I’m glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching. ATB Watto & Kim 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto You're so welcome
I would fancy that myself and I know my 3 year old grandson would too, he is mad on trains and planes. Great that it was very interactive and you could actually get inside some of the planes. I took my oldest grandson to the Imperial War Museum in London and they had a couple of planes there but nothing on this scale or the amount of different planes they had there. I would have no problem making a donation there, amazing that is was free entry - what a great days out! Cheers Alan
You and your grandson would live it mate. There were a lot of kids there and most of the replicas were there for them to sit inside.
Thanks for watching Alan. Have a good weekend.

That was a really fun tour and museum. We have a similar one here in our town. It is free as well. So cool for you to experience and see all the airplanes. Fun to get into them as well. Awesome trip and video. Have a great day.
Thanks Steve Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. best wishes from us both.👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Yes yes and yes
Missed this! Watching replay
All good by me. Happy to have your fantastic support. 🙏🏻
Great tour of the Jet Age Museum! Lots of great history and artifacts- and the best part was going in the cockpits and getting a personal tour and explanation! Aviation sure has come a long way! Great bonus that the museum is free- makes it easier for families to visit and for kids to learn history too. Thanks Watto and Ellie! 👌👍👍💺✈️
Thanks Jennifer. It is a great museum with plenty for kids and us grown ups alike. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes from us all on this side of the pond. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Amazing tour at the Jet Museum, there are so much to see. Wow, that's a very small scooter. There are a lot of buttons you can push, inside the cockpit, must be hard not to.
Ha ha yes my friend. The do not touch sign didn’t help. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Wow guys what a place great tour and info
Thanks Simon. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Looks really cool those planes! Such wonderful museum to see and great to know lots histories. Thank you for taking us along 😍👍👍
Our pleasure thank you so much for joining us. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️🛩️
Someday would love to visit the Cotswolds! What an awesome place!
I hope you do get to visit. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Thumbs, hands, legs, head all hitting that like button haha! Looking forward to seeing this, sounds really fascinating! and features Ellie too! woop! :) 💘💘
👍🏻🤜🏻🦵🏻💪🏻
That looks like a great museum to explore and even better that is it free! I like how you were able to sit in the cockpit of some of those old aircraft. Very cool!
It really is. Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
some great looking exhibits there mate...nice way to spend some time
Definitely Steve. Really interesting especially talking to the veterans.
👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
This was a great place to visit. Can’t believe it was free loads there to see. That first wooden plane just looks great. Those cockpits look a wee bit tight. So many buttons and dials. Always great when you get a good and very knowledgeable guide as well. 😊
Thanks Yasmin. I’m glad you enjoyed seeing it. We had a great visit here. Thanks for coming along with us.
Warm wishes. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Watto & Kim.
I always learn something at museums like these - the volunteer guides are brilliant and a wealth of information. I can't imagine those pilots getting into the jet so fast for takeoff - I would probably get stuck in the door trying to get in!
Ah yes Donna. I had the same issue. They must have been very slim that’s for sure. Glad you liked it. Take care. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
came over from millionaire paul to support , oh wow cool in the cockpit ,
Ah welcome Sadie. Paul is awesome. Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That was excellent Watto! Really enjoyed it! Looks like such an interesting place visit and great that it’s free! Thanks for taking us there!
Thanks Louise. I’m glad you liked it. A very interesting place for sure.
Have a great weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Wow wow wow, what can i say, this was honestly brilliant. Enjoyed hearing the information, the history and seeing the incredibly thought out museum there with all the memorabilia, the uniforms, the aircrafts and the replicas. I mean this is out-standing, can't believe it's free! It was a real eye opener to see inside the first auto landing airliner, amazing that they did all their navigations on paper...seems so odd! But it obviously worked for awhile haha. Well this was great, enjoyed seeing Dad & Ellie too, it looked like you all had a great day out! Keep wandering please, we love it! ⭐⭐👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much guys. I’m glad you enjoyed watching. We did enjoy our visit as you say it was so well laid out. Thanks for coming along with us. Have a great weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Will pick it up when I get home, looks a goodun!
Nice video Watto, with great information the fact it's free is incredible. May have to visit myself one day. M&T
Thanks guys. It is pretty cool. Well laid out and the volunteers were more than willing to talk about everything.
👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Notification set Watto pal 👍
🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hi Watto. Pretty amazing to see how complex it is inside of the aircraft! I really enjoyed your tour here seeing the cool airplanes. Very nice video. 👍😊🇨🇦
Many thanks indeed. It was very interesting. I am pleased you liked it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That was great - a good memory and a fun day out. Love wandering with my lil baby bro 🥰. Enjoy your holibobs xx
Yes indeed. Thanks we will. See you soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Really awesome Watto. Never realized the Colcon was a 1940's design. Ahead of their time there. And so good to see a jet from the second world war. I thought that was just the Germans. As you say a fantastic museum and free. All the best. Mark
It was a very good visit and all the volunteers weee very willing to share their knowledge. All ex service. Thanks for watching Mark. Hope your doing well. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto Good to hear of the visit Watto. Them x servicemen must love what they do.
Here I was checking up on my YT watch commitments and I saw my comment didn't register. Blah blah RUclips, I recently found comments on my account from 8 and more days ago- hidden from view. Well, now I have had my rant, I had an uncle who worked for an aircraft company- making the wooden wings. Used to love the stories he told. It is such a fascinating machine, that flying machine. For every facet of life and usage there is a design. Where would we be without them. I admire the pilots and mechanics. Lovely video you two. Thanks for the look in, so to speak. 🙏 🇳🇱 🙋♀ 🇳🇿
Anita comments disappear all the time. It is very frustrating indeed. Don’t worry about it. Ces La vie 🤷🏻♂️.
Thank you for watching. Have a great day. 🙏🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto and Kim.
This is wonderful museum to explore. I like a tour guide because he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Many collections in the museum.. Surprisingly not much crowds in there..
Kids must love them all. Thank you so much for taking us on your walking tour. Super!
Our pleasure thanks as always for joining g us. Trust me it did get busy by the time we left. I just try not to get people in my videos.
Have a great weekend both. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️🛶
@@WanderingwithWatto Indeed...
Brilliant tour guys, what an amazing place, people so knowledgeable and so much history we need to hold onto there. 👍
Totally agree Nick. Important so young ones can learn from it. Thanks as always for coming along with us. We really do appreciate you both so much.
Have a great weekend.
Catch you soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto hope your having an amazing time in Cornwall guys ♥️
Just got in to our lodge. Unpacked and wondering whether to get in the hot tub. With Kim’s mum. 🤷🏻♂️👙
Great video as always, one of my favourite things in the world are jet planes of the military variety!
Nice one. I am glad you liked it mate. 👍🏻🛩️🛩️
That was brilliant!! Love those sort of places.
The volunteers are always amazing and have so much knowledge and make it so interesting,
That guy in the Vulcan was fascinating! And the guy in the airliner cockpit. Incredible how they basically used scrolls so that they knew where they were!
Another great visit Watto and Dad looked like he really enjoyed it - we took my Dad to RAF Hendon a few years back and he didn’t want to leave!
Great stuff.
You and Kim have a good weekend mate
Thanks Dave. It really was a very good museum to visit. Mike in the Vulcan talked for over half an hour and was so enthusiastic. The paper sat nav amazed me for sure. Glad you liked it mate. We are now in Cornwall again for a week.
Take care both. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto oh cool. Have a good week - hope the weather is good 👍👍🤞🤞
Cheers; what a brilliant museum of flight you have been to and a place I hope will get some proper funding to preserve these great planes and helping the enthusiastic volunteers! Some of those planes are truly historic and make any plane spotter quite teary seeing them up close! Loved the tour of the cockpit of the Vulcan - it is a fighter plane that decided to grow and add some smart guys in the crew (without the ejection seats - they are for Maverick). And you should make a #shorts about that original satnav in the passenger plane! It is just amazing how they flew back in the days! All the best, Ant
Thanks so much ANT. I am glad you enjoyed seeing around it.
Best wishes have a great day. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Loved the howl of the Vulcan! Quite an enjoyable video. So much history in that place. My dad flew de Havilland Vampires then went on to fly commercial airlines. Those early jets were pretty cool. haha Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow that’s great about your Dad. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Nicely done Paul this was a cracking museum (the cockpit tours are amazing) 🙌🙌
Good to see Your Dad and Ellie wondering with you 🤠👍
Best wishes Simon 🤠🙏🏼
Thanks Simin. I appreciate you watching and your kind comments. Have a good weekend. Try and stay dry. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Great tour - watched and enjoyed as always my friend. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul :)
Thanks a million! If you pardon the pun. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That was brilliant mate.
Lovely to see your dad back out wandering 👍
That place looks great and hope to take the kids there in the summer holiday after watching this 😊👍
Thanks Phil. Yes we drag him out now and again. Rkn you would love it. Lots to read about and we’ll done. Not very big but lots to see.
Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto & Kim and Ellie! That was a brilliant tour! I did try to visit here a while ago, and although the website said it was open it was all shut up on my visit, so you have saved me a return trip. Although I was in the RAF for 10 years, my knowledge of aviation and planes is absymal! I was a electronics engineer on long distance ground radar, and never saw a plane - in fact, it wasn't until very many years later, after leaving the RAF, that I first flew in one (to Australia). It is brilliant that those wonderful volunteers keep it going and there so much history with aviation in both Gloucester and just over the border in South Gloucestershire at Filton too. Cheers all! Terrific work, take care, Paul.
Thanks Paul. Yes a very interesting place indeed and the volunteers are what really make it good. Good to hear about your time in the RAF. Gloucester has good links with aviation. My grandad was a master draughtsman and was involved with the design of a lot of the engines for Frank Whittle.
Glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes from all of us. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
That cockpit was quite tight. Mike seemed to really know his stuff. So many amazing air crafts with so much history. Reminds me when we went on a tour of an aircraft carrier in Corpus Christi. So many fighting aircraft on deck and throughout the ship. Interesting to think how these things work.
Ha ha yes it was snug to say the least. Mike was amazing and talked for about half an hour. I’m glad you enjoyed watching. Have a great weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Loved this Sibling Spender and seeing Dad enjoying himself too, missed Kim but then there she was on a scooter 🛵 😂 this is a fabulous museum, love how you can get in them all and Mike was very knowledgable! Have an amazing time in Cornwall hope the sunshine ☀️ comes out for you we will be sure to do you a ☀️ 💃 🕺 tomorrow! ❤️
Ah thanks Jill. This was the last outing with Ellie for a while as we live so far apart.
Glad you enjoyed it. Always appreciate you guys. Cornwall next and then the Wattos head to Yorkshire for some Gen X time.
Can’t wait. Warmest wishes from us down here. Keep Wandering. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto woop woop 🕺💃❤️ we can’t wait either 😘
I qualified many years ago as a engineer in a company that manufactured aircraft fuel systems so this was right up my street-A great video Watto 👍👍
Ah that’s great James. It is a very interesting museum. My grandad helped design the engines at Filton and GAC. He knew frank whittle well.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
What a great aircraft museum. How neat they have cut off section of aircraft you get to climb into. Think Pearl would have no problem getting into that bomber. I on the other hand may need a wench to pull me in. And a plunger 🪠 to get me out. Such tight spaces.
Ha ha Jim it was a bit of a squeeze I can tell you. And there would have been five blokes in there. I’m glad you enjoyed seeing the museum. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@Wandering with Watto Well it will soon be my turn to crawl into small military spaces. We got a video coming up where we crawl into a 16in and 5in battleship gun mounts. Pearl just zipped right in. Me on the other hand....
Hello hope all is well wow what a place as a massive Avgeek and aviation lover having worked in the travel and aviation industry truly loved this video
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed seeing it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
pre like and reminder
👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️🛩️
Erm I'm so jealous we call there every time we stay at Tewkesbury and it's always been closed lol so thanks for the tour 👍 regards Glyn
Our pleasure Glyn. Hopefully you will manage to catch it open at some point. It is well worth the visit. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Brilliant stuff Watto! Love places like that 😁 Interesting to see inside the Vulcan cockpit. I once saw a simulated scramble of one at Finningley airshow near Doncaster. Very impressive, and I can vouch for that 4 minutes!
It amazes me that the 5 man crew could get in there that quick. It was extremely tight that’s for sure.
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
A great museum tour Watto - it was almost like I was just there yesterday 😄
🤣
Hmm really. Must be a popular tour. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Great video! New subscribers! We found you on @Millionaire-Paul 's channel!
Welcome to the channel new friend 🙏🏻. Thanks for coming along and I hope you enjoy our videos. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️ Watto & Kim.
Hi, I have liked it already. But watching now only. Sorry for the late visit here.
Don’t ever be sorry. Aishu. I appreciate your support on all of our videos. Hope you enjoy it.
👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
This was such an interesting place Watto , I did see it on Ellies channel but its good that you both covered it quite differently, you with your Watto humour 😄 We saw so much, you did a lovely tour , I don't know how 4 men got in that cockpit though ! This was so good the way that its free and that all of the volunteers are ex RAF men/ engineers and its so good that your grandad was involved in drawing for concord. You all must be so proud :) ~ Anna 👍
Ah thanks Anna. Ellie is a lot more serious than me as I refuse to grow up 🤷🏻♂️🤣. It is a great place and we all thouroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for your support have a great weekend and week ahead. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto - this place looks awesome and will definately be on our list when Samuel is walking again. Seemed a good chap showing you around and certainly knew his stuff! Sorry we have not been around much lately. 😎😍👬
Don’t ever be sorry guys. Life comes first and you have a lot to deal with at the moment. We are happy you are able to watch when you can. The museum is very interesting and I think all of you would enjoy a visit.
Take care guys. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Not much room in that cockpit, I went in the one at Solway Aviation Museum. Fantastic peice of kit to explore.
It was a bit snug mate. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
I've visited this place before when it first opened however your video has spurred me on to make a return
Especially want to see if they've made much progress in rebuilding a Hawker Typhoon from many crashed and discarded bit's and pieces
Ah well I am glad you have been inspired to visit. My Grandad was a master draughtsman and worked for GAC. So we have family connection. The museum is well worth a visit and everyone is very accommodating. A good size donation is only fair I feel. Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope you enjoy our vlogs. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Watto & Kim.
