Very enjoyable experience. Specifically visited to see the Vulcan Bomber and the RJ85. I was particularly interested in the RJ85 as I had been involved in the production of similar... read more aircraft (BA146) at British Aerospace, Hatfield. I would like to express my thanks to the gentleman who permitted me access the cockpit and fuselage, which really made my day! Thanks to all concerned involved in the running of this excellent museum.

3 April 2022roverleiIt's volunteer-run, but they do a great job. The indoor displays are heavily focused on WWII flying, which isn't my interest, but I enjoyed some of the stories of individuals,... read more particularly the Czech and Polish men who flew for the RAF. The outdoor aircraft displays are probably what most want to see. Consists of mainly 50s and 60s jet aircraft, some of which make for great pics. I particularly am interested civil aviation and hence very much enjoyed the Avro RJ-85 and the 2.5 Fokker F27s! Nice little shop with books, posters and models to buy. Good for both big and little kids. I easily spent 1.5 hours here.

It gives you the history of Norfolk’s 1st & 2nd world war airfields.
The collection of aircraft outside is worth the visit.

As stated in the title we saw this place on trip advisor while staying in great yarmouth. It was only 30 minutes drive from seashore haven caravan park.... read more The staff of volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable about all the exhibits on site. It was a lovely place to visit and we will try and visit again with our 9 year old grandson as we think that he would like it. Thanks again for a nice time.
14 July 2021marthiexMyself and my partner were at a loose end after an appointment in the city and could not find anything to do with our day off, so a quick look... read more on TripAdvisor and we found the museum. I am so glad we did, because we had a fantastic visit. Only £5 each to enter currently due to the pandemic closing off the inside of aircraft and other things, which made the trip even more enjoyable! The volunteers were outstanding with their knowledge, most with engineering backgrounds we found out, so their passion for aviation radiated and it seemed they just loved talking about the planes. We enjoyed listening! We learned some great history about the planes and watched some light aircraft come and go at the neighbouring Norwich Airport. I would recommend anyone pop in for a visit for an hour or two, it is great to learn more about our history.
