Summary
Cockpit volunteers assist with visitors getting in and out of the cockpits and explain how they work
Detailed description
The RAF Air Defence Radar Museum is an award-winning, volunteer-lead attraction based on the site of RAF Neatishead near Horning in the Norfolk Broads.
The Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday (and Bank Holidays) 10am-5pm from Easter to November.
The Cockpits team create a warm, friendly atmosphere for visitors in this unique museum which tells the story of air defence and the development of radar technology from the Second World War right up to the present day.
We currently have the cockpit sections of a Panavia Tornado F3 and Sepecat Jaguar GR1/3 in the collection in excellent condition.
All volunteers are given a full induction and training to use and explain the cockpits and will be working alongside experienced volunteers, no prior knowledge is necessary.
We are ideally looking for volunteers who can assist on Fridays and Saturdays, but we are very flexible.
About RAF Air Defence Radar Museum
The RAF Air Defence Radar Museum tells the story RAF Neatishead, the development of radar technology and how the RAF used this to defend the UK during WW2, through the Cold War to the present day. Our award winning museum is almost entirely manned by volunteers - from the presentations given daily in our Cold War operations room, to the Crumbs cafe team and our welcoming team in reception.
