Aviation Heritage Centre

Post by The Star of Woo » Tue May 01, 2018 4:44 pm

Apologies if I'm putting this in the wrong place on the forum.

I've been searching for a contact phone number to pre-book a visit to the new Aviation Heritage Centre, behind the wire at RAF Coningsby. I've even tried phoning the main switchboard at Coningsby hoping to be put through, but the operator hadn't even heard of the Heritage Centre.

Hence putting this on here, does anyone one have a contact number please? If so, could you pm it to me please.

Many thanks

Hi.

You sure it's Coningsby and not Scampton or Waddington? I can only think of the BBMF at Coningsby. I may be mistaken!!

Cheers Glenn

Hello,

You are indeed correct, the centre opened on 1st april.

The official name is Coningsby Aviation Heritage Centre.
The centre is only open on the 1st Sunday of every month.

The email address to contact them is: conavnheritage@gmail.com

They have a good twitter feed and facebook group if you are on either site.

cheers

Mike

Thanks ever so Mike, much appreciated. We don't do twitter or faceache and I couldn't find anywhere at all that mentioned their contact details, just that visits were by 'advance bookings only'. I sure will email them and book a visit.

Unfortunately can't do this weekend, I'm afraid Cornwall calls!! It's a shame it's only the first Sunday in the month that the centre is open, we come up on Saturday 9th June!!!! So fingers are crossed that they open up more frequently at some point.
