Our RAF Day has been upgraded to RAF Weekend! On Saturday 25th July, the museum will be open with the added bonus of a BBMF flypast. RAF Day on the Sunday 26th will feature stall holders, replica Spitfire & glider on static display and the BBMF will be returning for a flypast!
RAF Day will be back at the museum on Sunday 26th July, celebrating the history of the RAF in East Anglia and aviation in general across the region. We have over 20 museums and organisations confirmed to attend so far along with a glider and replica Spitfire on static display!

Four more pieces of noseart on jackets and panels that we will be selling to raise money for @RCTAM94th .
So important we don't lose these Bomb Group museums where so many brave young men flew out and the incredible acts of bravery.

Step back in time before it’s too late…

For those attending our RAF Day at the Museum on Sunday 27th July, here are a few things to bear in mind
We now have confirmation for the Lancaster flypast being at 3.18pm, not 4.43pm as previously mentioned (subject weather and serviceability)
A big update for our RAF Day on Sunday 27th July and hopefully 2nd time lucky. We will have the BBMF Lancaster performing a flypast over the museum! Subject to weather and serviceability. Official timings TBC but we're pencilled in for 4.43pm.
Free entry with donations welcome!
We were due to have the BBMF Dakota flypast at our RAF Day but sadly due to its delayed maintenance at Duxford, it has been withdrawn. All other BBMF assets have already been allocated to other events, so they are unable to provide additional flypast support on the day.
Another date for the diary. On Sunday 27th July, we're hosting an RAF Day to celebrate the services history across East Anglia. The event, as always, is free admission with donations welcome and we’re dog friendly.
We have had confirmation from the Lancaster navigator that the flypast is still down for 1.50pm on Sunday, subject to weather and serviceability. All welcome!
We have a brand new event at Rougham on Sunday 27th July-RAF Day! It's our celebration of over 100 years of RAF history in East Anglia. We'll also be seeing in the air a flypast from the BBMF Dakota. Free entry with donations welcome. More to be announced in the next few days!
A C-130 Hercules from the 94th Airlift Wing, Dobbins ARB, Georgia, arrived at RAF Mildenhall yesterday with special 'Square A' markings of our 94th Bomb Group. We will also be welcoming the crew at the museum soon for a tour around the museum.

We now have confirmation from the @RAFBBMF that the Lancaster flypast over the museum on Sunday 22nd June, subject to weather and serviceability, will be at 1.50pm. Come along and see this British icon in the skies over #BuryStEdmunds. Free entry with donations welcome
Our team had a great day meeting the public at the Duxford VE Flying Day. We look forward to visiting again for the D-Day and American Flying Days in the next couple months.

The view from here: just a typical Suffolk Sunday afternoon. Some 110 tractors drove past the end of our road just now. Here’s why …
