RAF Air Defence Radar Museum
Bird's Lane Neatishead, NR12 8YB
The museum is an award-winning, volunteer run, visitor attraction that offers a fascinating and informative day out for the family.
Housed entirely in RAF buildings including the original hardened Grade 2* listed 1942 radar operations building, the museum provides a unique window into the history of radar covering the period of WW2 to the Cold War.
Spread across more than 20 rooms, discover what it was like to track Soviet aircraft from this secret base, leap into the real cockpit of a Tornado fighter and explore the development of technology from sound mirrors to microwaves.
Regular talks are provided by our skilled volunteers each open day and sample the delicious snacks on offer in the Crumbs Cafe.
