I don’t think Santa will be putting in an appearance today but I expect there will be some railway rides. Best to check with the operators direct on 712653, Pam or Tony Collins.

Hi Dan
Sorry for the delay again. I understand that the aircraft will be visible in their barn/hanger on all the open days, but access to the cockpits themselves is not immediately practical. However, Tony Collins is planning to have a ‘open cockpit day’ on one of the Open Days when some of the aircraft will be pulled out and made accessible by ladder. Nevertheless, if you give Tony a ring beforehand on the number given on the page above (01234 712653) then he will do what he can to advise or accommodate a more personalised visit and/or let you know when the open cockpit day might take place. Hope that helps.

Is it possible to view the cockpits on the afternoon of 23 June,I will be in the area from Norfolk and would appreciate a quick look. (over the fence would do).
Many Thanks

Hi Maurice. I would strongly advise you to get in touch with the owner and operator Tony Collins on 01234 712653. The cockpits are normally housed in a covered shed and are generally out of sight from public areas. If he is available on the day then I’m sure Tony would be amenable to you seeing the aircraft.
