Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Flixton, England.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum is an aviation collection spread across hangars and themed buildings set on a spacious site. The museum houses numerous aircraft from different eras and thousands of objects that document aviation history and operations.
The museum was established in the 1970s to preserve aircraft and artifacts connected to British aviation operations. It is located near a former airfield and focuses on documenting wartime and postwar military flying missions and their impact.
The museum reflects the role of British military aircraft in rescue and coastal defense missions that shaped the region's history. Visitors can see how these operations were conducted through the displayed planes and equipment that tell stories of the people involved.
The site is accessible on foot and encourages walking between buildings and outdoor displays. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as there is considerable walking involved and English weather can be changeable.
The museum houses rare aircraft that are seldom found elsewhere, including examples captured under difficult circumstances or rebuilt over many years. One notable piece is a detailed reconstruction of an aircraft built by prisoners during wartime as an escape attempt.
