RAF Air Defence Radar Museum

Sharing the fascinating story of the Air Defence of Great Britain! Reg Charity 1200585 There is also a café serving hot and cold drinks and snacks. Thank You!

Air defence radar control operations began at RAF Neatishead in 1942 and continued until 2004 when RAF Neatishead ceased tactical operations and became Remote Radar Head (RRH) Neatishead. Still manned by RAF personnel, RRH Neatishead now supplies engineering support to the radar located on the coast at Trimingham, Norfolk. When operations at RAF Neatishead moved into the underground bunker in 1995

, the Cold War Operations Room was left intact and it eventually became the centre piece of the ADRM. The museum has expanded considerably since its inception and the most common observation of the visitors is that they wished they had scheduled more time for their visit. There is so much to see, including presentations on the part radar played in the Battle of Britain, Night Fighter operations, the History of Radar, Space Defence and the Coltishall rooms. Now visitors can see the once secret Cold War Operations Room and have its operation explained in detail. Visitors are encouraged to participate in the guided tours during which the Volunteer Guides tell the story and add a personal touch to the experience. Opening times:

Tuesdays-Saturdays weekly and Bank Holiday Mondays, April to November inclusive. Open from 1000-1700

It is a predominantly volunteer run museum with just one member of paid staff. Every donation to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum helps us to safeguard, protect and restore our unique radar collection. With your continued support, the guidance of the Charity's Trustees, the passion and dedication of the Museum's Volunteers and with the continuing support of the Friends of the Museum the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum is set to continue to tell the TOP SECRET story of Radar from its inception to the current day. Whilst the collections and RAF buildings in our care will benefit from continuous care, protection and restoration, visitors too will be encompassed and included in the activities of the Museum. We sincerely hope you enjoy your day with us and are amazed and astounded by the extraordinary job Radar has done quietly behind the scenes since 1935. Your visit helps us to tell this story and to protect it for future generations.
