The museum started out as an aviation enthusiasts group in 1977 and is the home to a Vulcan bomber which has been one of the group's main attractions since 1983. 

The remains of a Second World War aircraft which lay hidden in mud off the Norfolk coast for more than 60 years are among aviation artefacts to go on display at the museum this summer.
