City of Norwich Aviation Museum

Located near the airfield at Norwich International Airport, the museum has a main display hall housing many exhibits (including models, uniforms, aviation memorbillia etc), a shop and three small display huts. The aircraft are housed outside overlooking the runway of the airport, making a visit doubly interesting for the aviation enthusuast, as Norwich airport has grown increasingly busy in recent years, particuarly in the summer.

History
CNAM started life as an aviation enthusiasts group for members of the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company in 1977.

In early 1982, museum exhibits included Avro Anson (TX228), Westland Whirlwind (XP355), Sea Vixen (XP919) and a Dassault Mystere IV (121). 1983 saw the arrival of our Vulcan bomber which flew in to the airport after its retirement from service.

By 1985 the museum had moved to its present site at Norwich International Airport. At this time the Anson had been damaged beyond economical repair during gales, but Vampire (XD373) had arrived.

1986 saw another air fair on 14th September that saw attendance figures break the 20,000 barrier and another arrival, T-33 (16718). Over the next few years, services were laid, the main exhibition hall erected and the arrival of more aircraft. Recently the museum has expanded its display areas, widened its public awareness campaign, and advertised itself globally through its website.
