Beyond aircraft, the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum offers themed displays on RAF Bomber Command, Air-Sea Rescue, the Royal Observer Corps, and the 446th Bomb Group USAAF. Visitors can explore three hangars and seven themed buildings housing over 30,000 aviation-related artefacts. The museum also engages in “wreckology,” the study and excavation of aircraft crash sites in East Anglia.
