There is an anti-det run of the Nimrod planned for this coming Sunday, 15th December. It means all four engines being run up and will take place between 11.30 and 11.50 in the morning. It's subject to serviceability on the day but should clear the cobwebs before Christmas.

ANOTHER SPROUT? Don't forget we're serving our Christmas menu in Café 77, including a full turkey dinner! It's best to book this at the café as soon as you arrive but there are plenty of other things on offer. Pass the gravy...

EVENTS CALENDAR 2025 Our initial calendar for 2025 is now live on the website. The full details of each event will be flesh out in due course but this gives you an idea of what is planned for next year. There will of course be updates along the way. yorkshireairmuseum.org/events/

It's our last day of opening before Christmas today - we're closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, reopening on Friday the 27th. We'd like to thank all our visitors and supporters across the last year, along with the team who make it all possible. Merry Christmas!

VICTOR ENGINE RUN As with our Nimrod anti-det (anti-deterioration) run last month, the engines of the Victor will be run-up on January 11th. It's a normal Museum day, meaning no special tickets needed and return tickets are valid (if still in-date and signed).

MUSEUM CLOSED TODAY Due to a combination of bad weather and staffing, we regret to say the Museum is not open today. Any booked tickets will be valid for another day and we hope to reopen as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment.
