The museum plans to have a small collection of aircraft to represent the “Cold War” era, and ideally types that were based at Bentwaters and Woodbridge.

However at this time it is very difficult for a private museum to obtain ex USAF aircraft, due to the policy now in place, by the US government, so the collection will also include non US aircraft.

The museum currently has a Gloster Meteor F.8 under restoration, and also an ex Spanish Air Force Piper  PA-31P Navajo, which was left behind following some film work at Bentwaters. The Navajo does not really fit in with the museums planned collection.

At this current time, viewing of the aircraft is via prior arrangement, and is not possible on a normal museum open day. Viewing of the aircraft will be possible on museum special base tour days, and on group visits.

Can you help?

We are always looking for information on any of the museum aircraft, do you have any photo’s, manuals, spare parts, if so we would be very pleased to here form you. Please use the contact form to get in touch with us.
