Wattisham Station Heritage Museum

A crisp and clear November at The Memorial under Suffolk’s Big Skies

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

We are building up a new section of the website which will give details of all the flying squadrons that are currently or have been based at Wattisham in the past. Click here to view the Squadrons Information pages.

The website Search facility has been dramatically improved to allow visitors a much simpler way of finding the information they are looking for. Just type a word or phrase into the Search facility and a list of relevant website pages will be returned.

Another batch of updates to the website have been carried out, to the Our Aircraft pages.

The Airfield History section has been updated this week with some corrected and recently obtained information and images…..

Wattisham Station Heritage Museum is being readied for the 2022 season by re-arranging the displays, adding new displays and giving the aircraft some tender loving care. Click HERE to make an early booking to come and see for yourself.

Following a meeting with Wattisham Flying Station management team it has been decided that due to the Covid-19 situation and the fact that we as a small museum only having limited toilet and hand washing facilities for our visitors and our staff members we could not meet the necessary strict hygiene requirements in order to meet the governments Covid-19 regulations.

So it is with much sadness and regret to say that our museum will remain closed for the rest of 2021 but we look forward to opening from the spring of 2022 assuming that the Covid-19 situation is under control.

We would like to thank those of you who have contacted us about visiting this year and hope that we will be able to see you all again next year. Until then our very best wishes to you all and stay safe.

We look forward to seeing you in 2022.
