The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is a volunteer-run museum and charitable trust dedicated to the preservation of the aviation history of the county of Norfolk, England. The museum is located on the northern edge of Norwich International Airport and is reached by road through the village of Horsham St Faith.

History

In 2016, a number of aircraft had to be moved to make room for the Northern Distributor Road. Although part of the museum property was given up for the road, the footprint of the museum grew slightly due to a land swap.[1]

The museum welcomed EI-RJN, a 21-year old Avro RJ85, formerly operated by CityJet, as an exhibit in October 2020. The jet had to be lifted over the Northern Distributor Road by crane.[2]

The museum acquired the collections of the Fenland and West Norfolk Aviation Museum in 2022 when the latter closed. At the same time, it began building a new 260m2 expansion called Fenland Hall to house the collection.[3] [4]
