City of Norwich Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Horsham St Faith, England
The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is an aviation museum in Horsham St Faith near Norwich International Airport, displaying about 30 aircraft and exhibits. The collection spans both indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring military and civilian aircraft from different eras.
The museum was established in 1977 to preserve aviation heritage linked to Norfolk's former Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces bases. This legacy is reflected in the aircraft and materials gathered from the region's military aviation past.
The collection tells the story of military aircraft that were stationed in this region for many years. Visitors can see displays dedicated to the Royal Air Force and the United States 8th Air Force, showing how these forces shaped aviation in Norfolk.
Visitors should plan ahead as specialized tours of specific aircraft such as the Avro Vulcan Bomber require advance booking. Availability depends on volunteer schedules, so it is best to contact the museum beforehand.
In 2020, a 21-year-old Avro RJ85 aircraft was lifted by crane over a road to join the collection from its previous operator CityJet. This event shows the practical challenges of acquiring large aircraft for the museum.
