Open Day at Martlesham Control tower Museum

There WILL be an open day again this year on the 11th September

A good day out for every one including the kids.

The airfield at Martlesham was the home for many years of the RAF and for a while of the United States Air Force

The open day or fun day as some call it is all about those times

Every aircraft evaluated for the RAF/RN/FAA was checked out here that had floats or a hull, this photo courtesy of Felixstowe Museum shows the three huge hangars, the slipways and the pier with a Titan Crane that could lift loads in/out of the water to 50 tons
