Newark Air Museum is an air museum located on a former Royal Air Force station at Winthorpe, near Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, England. The museum contains a variety of aircraft.
History
The airfield was known as RAF Winthorpe during the Second World War, opening in September 1940.[1] From 1942 to 1944, it housed No. 1661 Heavy Conversion Unit, training Avro Lancaster crews, in No. 5 Group with around thirty planes. In 1944 it joined No. 7 Group. In 1945 it transferred to Transport Command.
The following units were posted at RAF Winthorp at some point:
- No. 54 Maintenance Unit.[1]
- No. 61 Maintenance Unit.[1]
- No. 1331 Heavy Transport Conversion Unit.[1]
- No. 1333 (Transport Support) Conversion Unit.[1]
- No. 1333 (Transport Support) Training Unit RAF.[1]
- Central Servicing Development Establishment RAF.[1]
In 1964, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of the former airfield were purchased by the Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society, who have since held the Newark and Nottinghamshire County Show. A limited company called Newark (Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire) Air Museum was formed in 1968. The museum officially opened on 14 April 1973.

Cockpitfest
The Air Museum has, for the past few years, hosted the annual Cockpitfest. This popular event calls on enthusiasts and 'cockpitters' alike to bring their memorabilia for others to see and, in the case of cockpits, get inside. The Cockpitfest celebrated its 10th anniversary in June 2009.
