City of Norwich Aviation Museum

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 actually grew slightly due to a land swap.

The museum welcomed its newest exhibit in October 2020 when it received EI-RJN, a 21-year old Avro RJ-85, formerly operated by CityJet.

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 260 m2 expansion called Fenland Hall to house the collection.
