Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, Flixton, Suffolk - 30th April 2017

The exhibits might be sometimes chaotic, and the aircraft aren't exactly in the same condition as Duxford, but the staff are enthusiastic and there's a huge amount of stuff hidden away in its rabbit-warren layout. Plus it's free, and much more extensive than its first appearance - looking like a few random aircraft in a pub car park - might suggest.
