Experience the country’s only original Cold War Operations
Room, which formed a critical link in the RAF’s Command and
Control System in the years following WW2. A visit to the
museum will give you a comprehensive insight into how Cold
War air defence operations were carried out during those
tense and dangerous times as the RAF faced the might of the
Soviet Air Force and the ever-present threat of nuclear war.
The Museum is an award winning, volunteer run, visitor
attraction that offers a fascinating and informative day out
for the whole family.
Housed entirely in RAF
buildings including the original hardened Grade 2* listed
1942 radar operations building, the Museum provided a unique
window into the history of radar covering the period of WW2
to the Cold War.
The museum has over 20 exhibition
rooms. We have talks in the Second World War room and the
Cold War room. The times of the talks will be announced over
the tannoy throughout the day. The talks bring to life how
it was in WW2 and during the Cold War at Neatishead.
