There is a shop and cafe, friendly helpful staff, if you like planes it’s a must see!

  I was so thrilled to visit this lovely museum specifically to see the Air UK exhibits. All of the volunteers are charming and the coffee shop is super but a... read more special thank you to curator Matt Taylor who came in specially to open up the Air UK aircraft for me. The main F27 exhibit is perfect and looks as though she’s ready to take flight with 44 passengers to somewhere like Aberdeen or Jersey. She really is stunning!

Thank you Matt and all of the volunteers for their commitment to the Air UK heritage. I salute you.

  The volunteers at the museum were very welcoming and knowledgeable. I was told the story by Mike about how the museum received the English Electric Lightening in bits from a... read more scrap yard in Portsmouth. He described how putting it back together was like doing a very large Airfix kit which took several years to complete.

I can highly recommend visiting the museum that also has several indoor displays detailing aviation in Norfolk, and a superb Café that is able to provide gluten free food.

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.

  It'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.

  Fantastic Museum with very helpful staff who know what they ate taking about and always willing to talk to people about the exhibits. Very nice tea shop.

  Interesting collection of aircraft and history of WWII and to date. Pleasant staff. Good price - £8 for adult £1 for kids.

  Interesting museum

It gives you the history of Norfolk’s 1st & 2nd world war airfields.

The collection of aircraft outside is worth the visit.
