Getting to the Control Tower Museum

By Air
Sadly, although there is still a small section of runway and taxiway remaining, you can no longer fly into Martlesham Heath. Nor Ipswich, since the airport was closed to build housing.

By Bus
Route 66 bus, ask driver to stop at FIRST bus stop in Eagle Way. Footpath on the right leads to Museum.

By car
Turn off the A12 at the Tesco roundabout into Eagle Way, third right into Parkers Place, first left into roadway that leads to the Museum Car Park. The Museum is located in an area off Deben Avenue. Plenty of parking space.
