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…

We're all set at the IWM Duxford American Air Day. Come by and say hello!

For those attending our RAF Day at the Museum on Sunday 27th July, here are a few things to bear in mind

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

We now have confirmation for the Lancaster flypast being at 3.18pm, not 4.43pm as previously mentioned (subject weather and serviceability)

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

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!

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

@GavinGc5 Sadly the strong winds meant it was cancelled. We haven't had much luck this year! We have one more request pending for a flypast in September so hopefully we're successful with that one 🙏

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

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due to have the BBMF Dakota flypast at our RAF Day but sadly due to its delayed maintenance at Duxford, it has been withdrawn.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.

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

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!

[Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum @RCTAM94th]

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!

@AVG_Kory Excellent photo. Very proud to see the "Big Square A" back in Suffolk, even just for a short time.

A USAF C-130H sat at RAF Mildenhall this morning. Was hoping to catch it flying but today wasn't meant to be.

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.

It was a pleasure to host the Bardwell Tractor Run for their half way stop today. We had over 100 tractors on site and over 850 visitors! The run was in aid of Suffolk Mind and EACH childrens hospice. All money raised will be split equally between the two charities.
