The Fenlanders Harley Owners Group visit the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum

Barely three weeks after having hosted a raft of vintage motorcycling memories at the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum we’re at it again – more motorbikes! This time we are welcoming ‘The Fenlanders’ to Flixton for a day of mixing their beautifully maintained Harley Davidson motorbikes with our beautifully maintained aircraft! The Fenlanders HOGs (that’s the Harley Owners Group) are taking their first run out to the museum for a days visit and we’ll be parking them around the site so that everyone can get photos of the bikes and the planes – separately or together depending on your choice. It may be that we can persuade members of the Group to start up and run a few of the bikes at times during the day so visitors can hear what a 1600cc American twin engine sounds like close up. It promises to be a loud kind of day!

The Museum site will be fully open as usual from 10am through to 4pm on the day, with all the aircraft, cockpits and equipment displays, the 446th, Air Sea Rescue and ROC buildings all open and Museum Volunteers on hand to explain the thousands of aviation related items that make up the Museum Collection.

The NAAFI cafe will be open for the serious business of tea (or coffee) and cake, and the shop will be offering a wide range of aviation related goodies to help you make the most of your day.

Entrance to the Museum, and parking when you arrive, are all free – but we would really appreciate a donation to help with the never ending maintenance of all the exhibits and to help us keep the Museum growing.

We have aeroplanes on display that date from before the war through to the Canberras, Lightnings, Hunters and Harriers that have seen service in the RAF in more recent times. Across the whole site we have more than 60 aircraft and cockpit sections on display and can often offer access into many of them for photo opportunities. Museum Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and point out some of the features of each aircraft.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome, provided they are kept on a lead (but not in the shop please, it gets a bit narrow). We are wheelchair friendly with access to all areas – apart from aircraft cockpits.

We look forward to seeing you there…!
