The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is looking for a pro-active volunteer to assist with general aircraft maintenance and restorations projects.
The Museum Volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds which does not neccesarily have to be aircraft related. Volunteers will be invited to join an established team to ensure they are fully inducted to the museum processes and see exactly what general maintenance and restoration involves.
The museum will provide appropriate PPE such as gloves and safety glasses.
Volunteers are required to submit a membership application form directly to the museum and pay a small charge of £15 per year to cover insurance and other costs. In return, Volunteers are invited to take part in Annual meetings, group visits and a range of discounts including a discount of 15% in our on site shop.
About City of Norwich Aviation Museum
In early 1982, museum exhibits included Avro Anson (TX228), Westland Whirlwind (XP355), Sea Vixen (XP919) and a Dassault Mystére IV (121). 1983 saw the arrival of our Vulcan bomber which flew in to the airport after its retirement from service.
By 1985 the museum had moved to its present site and an air fair held to help raise funds to expand the museum. At this time the Anson had gone (having been damaged beyond economical repair during gales). 1986 saw another air fair on 14th September that saw attendance figures break the 20,000 barrier and another arrival, T-33 (16718).
Over the next few years, services were laid, the main exhibition hall erected and the arrival of more aircraft. Recently the museum has expanded its display areas, widened its public awareness campaign, and advertised itself globally through its website and various social media platforms.
The future holds many obstacles for the museum but with a dedicated group of volunteers we hope to carry on expanding and provide a more comprehensive view of aviation in the area.
