This was an interesting place to visit. It is not like visiting a traditional museum. Many items are related back to the personal stories and the people that owned them. Like many people, my interest came from watching Masters of the Air and you realise how that was created in true memory to those that served. You see their names, their stories and their belongings. Going into the control tower I could feel the energy and the anticipation of those who were there waiting for aircrews to return. The museum truly pays respect and honours those who made our today’s possible. This is only doable by the amazing volunteers who operate the museum, cafe and gift shop who were truly passionate about keeping the memory and the legacy alive.

What an amazing place. We visited for the first time today and will definitely be back. The volunteers are all very knowledgeable and we had the absolute honour of meeting and chatting with Ron; what a very interesting person he is, having dedicated much of his life to bringing Thorpe Abbotts back to life, he shared stories of the renovations as well as the history of the place. Do visit if you can, there is no entry fee but donations are welcome and please do donate. You can grab some refreshments and souvenirs in the shop, where the staff have created a very friendly almost family atmosphere, but, whilst walking round the site, be prepared, it has a unique ambiance, you can feel the spirit of the airmen who served here. Thoroughly recommend.

One of the finest air museums in the country, and not an aircraft in sight. Beautifully curated collection with excellent displays. Tells the incredible story of the 100th without leaning too much into Masters of the Air. Very impressed with the volunteers both with their knowledge and friendliness, despite the incredible heat while we were there. Great gift shop too!

Great little museum with a range of exhibits associated with the 100th Bomb Group. Stories are moving, the information is incredibly interesting to read. Going into the tower at the top you can look over the entire airfield and although it's now overgrown or removed you can imagine how the airfield looked at the height of its operation. There is a small cafe and shop there that sells Dvds, books, mugs etc. A new exhibit showing props from Masters of the Air has recently opened and thats definitely worth a look if you're a fan of the show.. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing by.

Great museum that really helps to tell the story of the 100th. Volunteers are really knowledgeable and interesting. Keep an eye open for Chloe the donkey!
