We'd like to announce our annual Open Day featuring a range of exciting things to see and do! As well welcoming back the fabulous Three Chordettes, fascinating military and vintage vehicles, access to the Museum and a range of stalls and fun activities, we have a special welcome to Mable the Merlin engine, and it's owner Paul Lawrence. The Merlin was used in both the Spitfires and P-51 Mustangs that flew from Martlesham during World War 2, so when Paul fires it up during the day, it will bring that famous roar of the engine back to Martlesham after some eighty years - Come along and enjoy the fun!
