About this museum
Also known as / searched as: Newark Air Museum · Newark Aviation Museum · Winthorpe Air Museum
One of the largest volunteer-run collections in the country: 90-plus aircraft and cockpits on a former RAF Winthorpe bomber-training field, with a shop so well stocked with plastic kits it constitutes a hazard to household budgets. The collection's quiet superpower is breadth — Swedish Viggens and Drakens rub shoulders with V-bombers and a hangar full of engines.
Listed inventory: 99 airframes.
Vulcan XM594, with cockpit tours occasionally given by former Vulcan aircrew, which reviewers describe with the reverence normally reserved for papal audiences.
- Vulcan B.2 XM594 (cockpit tours by ex-crew)
- Avro Shackleton MR.3
- Saab Viggen & Draken pair
- Handley Page Hastings
Two big hangars plus outdoor lines: fine in rain, better in sun. Cafe cheerful, cheap. Gliding club next door has been known to upsell visitors into the air.

- “Brilliant museum in Newark V close to the A1. Lots of info on the boards in front of each exhibit which are all laid out in a practical and accesible manner. The volunteers are extremely knowledgeable and all love being asked to help.”— Mike “MikeyD” Darbo
- “I wish I had longer to walk around here, theres so much to see. Staff are knowledgeable and scattered about to add more infor and experience. Its good to interact. For the most part the ground is flat and disabled friendly. Theres also a cafe and gift shop.”— Leigh
