In 1993 the Army Air Corps arrived at Wattisham, taking over the station from the Royal Air Force. 2023 marks the 30th Anniversary of this, and we hope to be able to celebrate this during the year.
In 1943 the USAAF took over Wattisham, so 2023 will mark 80 years since then. We hope to be able to celebrate this during the year.
A warm thanks to everyone who has visited and supported the Museum in 2022.
May you all have a good holiday and New Year, and hope to see you at some point during 2023. Keep warm over the winter.
Two thumbs up from an enthusiastic visitor to the Museum on the final public open day of 2022.
John from Stowmarket was a sprightly and inquisitive visitor and was joined by his family on an escorted tour around the Museum and HAS and aircraft.
John is a keen photographer and took a number of photographs throughout the day to remember his visit, and Museum staff members were on hand to answer his questions about the exhibits.
Look out for details of our 2023 opening schedules after our Winter maintenance and improvement projects are completed.
A quick look at the Army Air Corps over the last 65 years is published here.

The Wattisham Station Heritage Museum was very happy to host a group of former 74 Sqn personnel as they held a reunion in the local area. Saturday 27th August 2022 saw a number of former groundcrew return to their old haunt on the Northern HAS site, reminiscing and enjoying a return visit to Suffolk. Even Cliff Spink, the squadron c/o was in attendance.
The groundcrew had a great visit and were very complementary about the condition of the Phantom and the Museum HAS area.
Pictures of the visit are available here.
