Newark Air Museum

Newark Air Museum is located on the former World War Two airfield of Winthorpe in eastern Nottinghamshire. Its diverse collection of seventy four aircraft and cockpit sections cover the history of aviation and is the largest volunteer collection in Great Britain. The aircraft on display include ten National Benchmark aircraft twenty nine significant aircraft and eighteen noteworthy aircraft as listed in the National Aviation Heritage Register.

Nearly half of the aircraft are displayed inside and the museum has just opened a second Aircraft Display Hall with the aid of a significant grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

In addition to the aircraft, the museum displays a diverse display of aviation artefacts and a collection of more than thirty aero engines. On site there is an excellent cafe and an extensive shop, which was once described as 'An Aviation Enthusiasts Dream!'

Easy access from the A1, A46, A17, A1133 (follow brown tourist signs).

Each year the museum organises and hosts a diverse range of Special Event Days, details of which are regularly updated on the museum's website.
