Radar Museum
RAF - Air Defence Radar Museum
Hidden within the peaceful surrounds of the Broads lies a clandestine world of air defence. One of the oldest radar stations in the world, RAF Neatishead has been keeping our skies safe since 1942. But now the secret’s out!
Housed in the original Grade II listed 1942 operations building, the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum is a treasure trove of stories, artefacts, and hands-on exhibits. From the hair-raising heroics of Battle of Britain’s Fighter Control to the top-secret work of the radar operators scanning the skies for Soviet spy planes, museum tells the intriguing story of air defence.
Children and adults alike will love sitting in the pilot seat of a Jaguar, getting to grips with the controls of a Tornado or trying their hand at backwards writing.

Offering fresh Norfolk pasties and sausage rolls, and a wide range of cakes and drinks, Crumbs is the perfect pit stop whether you’re visiting the museum or just passing by.
