Newark Air Museum

The museum

The museum occupies part of former RAF Winthorpe and has assembled a broad British, European and American collection from the early piston era into the Cold War. Its large outdoor airframes share the site with sheltered galleries and smaller surviving cockpit sections.

The museum occupies part of former RAF Winthorpe and has assembled a broad British, European and American collection from the early piston era into the Cold War. Its large outdoor airframes share the site with sheltered galleries and smaller surviving cockpit sections.

The aircraft collection concentrates on cold War British combat jets, experimental research aircraft, transports, trainers and cockpit preservation. The published museum inventory marks stored examples separately from those off-site. This selection includes specific cockpit-only remains as partial airframes, while complete airframes are recorded separately. Any plan to enter a preserved aircraft should be checked with the museum.

The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
