East Midlands Aeropark

The Aeropark is both an aviation museum and a viewing area where you can study the preserved planes of yesteryear or watch the modern airliners of today taking-off and landing at a growing international passenger and cargo airport.

Planes on display include Aérospatiale Gazelle, Morane-Saulnier Rallye MS880, Hawker Hunter T.7 and an Avro Vulcan B.2.

Within the Aeropark there are two viewing mounds which are just 170 meters north of the main east/west runway of the airport (Runway 09 Threashold). The mound which is at the eastern end of the Aeropark is the height of the airport perimiter fence which means that you can get and unrestricted view across the airport perfect for taking photographs.

The museum and its exhibits are managed and maintained by the Aeropark Volunteers Association (AVA). It also offers two viewing mounds for watching aircraft arriving and departing from the main runway. AVA Members are allowed free access to the Aeropark.
