No major damage to report to the aircraft or site infrastructure and we’re open as normal today until 4pm (last admission @ 3pm) http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/Opening-Times

Fence damage to western end of Southfield Site due to some Airfield Anarchy obstacles that have been blown over the fence – not an issue to the site being open!

A quick reminder that we move onto our spring opening times tomorrow (10am until 5pm; last admission 4pm; last admission to the shop 4.40pm). http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/Opening-Times

March 2017 will also be the last month at the current admission prices, which will have to increase slightly at the beginning of April so that we can meet our statutory wage obligations.

Also please don’t forget it’s our Indoor Aeroboot on Saturday 4th March.
