WELCOME TO NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD MUSEUM AND MEMORIAL
The museum is housed in the former RAF North Weald Station Office.
It is adjacent to what was the main entrance to this former Battle of Britain Fighter
Station.
North Weald Airfield Museum is about people. It's about the service
personnel and civilians, who have lived, worked, flown, fought and died here since the
airfield opened in 1916. This means that 2006 was:
The 90th Anniversary of the opening of the
Airfield
An event was held over the weekend 18th - 20th August, 2006.
The Norwegians, whose Squadrons had been at North Weald longer than any others,
visited. The group consisted of 20 veterans, 8 members of the Royal
Norwegian Air Force and two officials from the Bodo Air Museum. So
important is North Weald to the Norwegians that the representatives from the air
force were headed by Major General Stein Nordland, Head of the Royal Norwegian
Air Force. To see a group photograph of the visitors
Click here.
The museum has a regular members publication, "The Hurricane".
To see a typical issue go to Hurricane.
Future copies of The
Hurricane can be obtained by becoming a member of the Museum. For an
application form go to Application.
As part of the 90 year
celebrations a DVD telling the story of North Weald Airfield has been produced.
For details of this go to DVD. There are also
projects independent of the airfield museum to celebrate the anniversary. To find out
details of one of these go to

The museum sets out to tell their story of a famous airfield that has protected
London during two world wars.
The story is told in displays, with photographs, artefacts and personal
memories.
A particular feature of the museum is the detailed history of the airfield, from
the time it opened until the RAF left in 1964. It is without doubt one of the best
documented former RAF stations.
One of the main purposes of the Museum is to provide
educational facilities for schools and other groups. For details go to
Education.
During the Winter Season the Museum holds Members Evenings.
The museum has a close relationship with airfield activities
including The Squadron Club. To find out about the club go to

volunteers. To find out about it go to

Sunday 18th May 2008 was a special day at the airfield.
A full size replica Hurricane that will later in the year be installed as a
"Gate Guardian" at the entrance to the airfield was dedicated. The RAF
Memorial flight attended. To read about this event and see pictures of the
Hurricane and other aircraft involved go to Gate
Guardian.
The year 2000 was the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. North
Weald Airfield played a key role in the skies above Essex and Southeast England. The
