About this museum
The Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum at Flixton is the great free eccentric of British aviation: sixty-odd airframes accumulated with magpie logic, from mainstream jets to genuinely obscure one-offs, spread across huts, hangars and a windblown yard near Bungay. It has the highest ratio of 'what on earth is THAT' per acre in the country, and admission is a donation box.
Listed inventory: 26 airframes.
Depends who you ask — the joy is the oddities. Come for the Bloodhound missiles and decoy rarities; stay for volunteer flight-simulator lessons materialising unprompted for twelve-year-olds.
- Gloster Javelin FAW.9
- de Havilland Sea Vixen
- Westland Whirlwind HAR.10
- A field of genuine Cold War oddities
Free (donate properly). Allow 3–4 hours, more if you talk to anyone. Some outdoor exhibits are weathering — adopt-an-aircraft donations gratefully taken.
“The museum is a fantastic place for aviation enthusiasts and professionals alike.”— Jim, visitor report
