Open Again on Sunday, 13th September …
After a successful Members-Only Open Day and the first Public Open Day last Sunday, the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum will be open again this Sunday the 13th September 2020. The gates will open at 1000 and visitors are welcome through to 1600.
With one way systems and other restrictions in place to cope with the COVID situation, we are allowed to have 200 people on-site at any one time. Smaller numbers are allowed in the main hangar and outside museum rooms, these are controlled by Volunteers to ensure that social distancing is maintained. Details of those restrictions can be found on our blog in the COVID situation Page by clicking on the button below.
Damage to Adair Walk
Unfortunately, the Adair Walk down to the River Waveney is currently closed due to gale damage suffered a few weeks ago, The boardwalk has been crushed by a falling tree, which also brought down other structures. Volunteers are working to restore the walkway, but being short of volunteer staff and resources, this may take some time to repair. The damage can be seen in the photos below.

Family Day Out
With the weather looking good, being wheelchair friendly, and with dogs allowed (except in the shop), this is a great day out for the family with lots of safe space around our outside display area. There are lots to see, including the latest exhibit, the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR2 XV497.
We have picnic tables and seating scattered throughout the site. Drinks, ice creams and pre-packed snacks are available from the shop, whilst we do our best to make the NAAFI Café safe to open once again.
