Unfortunately the museum has had to close today due to a burst water main nearby meaning that we have no water on site - sorry for the late notification! We will try to advise when we are able to re-open!!

Unfortunately we’re going to be closed again on Tuesday 17th September as the water supply has still not been repaired- sorry for any inconvenience this may cause - sadly the situation is out of our control!

A temporary fix to our water supply means that we’re able to re-open on Wednesday 18th September -sorry for any inconvenience that’s been caused!

any ideas when this is likely to be and for how long. i would be travelling a long way but dont want to miss it

As of today I have no details to share regarding the likely timeframe involved.

Some planning work has taken place, and last week the Restoration Team confirmed that the Viggen tail folding mechanism is still functional; this is an important first step in the whole process. When this work is undertaken, it is likely that it will be done inside a working day.

Sorry that I cannot provide any firmer details at this point in time. When a date and time is fixed I will attempt to let people know.
