Getting ready for the 2025 season.
The museum may of been closed over the winter,but there is always plenty to do.
Our dedicated team work very hard to get the site ready for the new season.
Be it a lick of paint, stripping a door, or just a general sweap up, the team were up for it.
"We happy Few 506"
We had the pleasure of hosting a visit by the tour group "We happy Few 506" on Friday 4th April, everyone enjoyed themselves (plenty of fun was had on the Jeep rides around the field!!) and hopefully went away with a feeling for the history of this site. Cliff Hall attended at short notice and bought with him a selection of wartime photos from the 94th's time at Rougham and the audience listened intensely to his stories.
Cliff enjoyed it so much, he even said it reminded him of the veterans visits of the past. Among the guests was actor Matt Leitch (Floyd Talbert) from Band of Brothers and also Jonas Moore, Jordan Coulson and Adam Long from Masters of the Air mini series (Capt Frank Murphy, Capt Howard Hambone Hamilton and Capt Benny DeMarco respectively).
The tour lasted two days and we hope all the guests and organisers had an enjoyable time.
Despite the Lancaster flypast cancellation we had a bumper day with over 500 people through the gates.
It was a pity about the flypast but as there are only two flying Lancaster's left in the world it was far too risky taking off in 20 mile per hour crosswinds, ah well, maybe next time.
Thank you to all the guests and vehicle owners who turned out
despite knowing there was no flypast.
July 27th 2025
We finally got our fly past, albeit later
than planned!
The Avro Lancaster has to be one of the most famous planes in aviation history, and just to see it fly over sent
a shiver up the spine.
There are currently only two airworthy Avro Lancaster bombers in the world. These historic aircraft are maintained by the Royal Air Force Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) in the UK and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM)
in Canada.
