Paham Airfield Museum is located on the site of a former World War II United States Air Force station, deep in the heart of rural Suffolk.

Today, it brings together two unique museums, offering visitors a fascinating insight into how this quiet corner of England was shaped by the war in two very different ways.

The 390th Bomb Group Memorial Air Museum pays tribute to the 743 servicemen who were killed or listed as Missing in Action from this airfield, as well as the 754 who were taken as Prisoners of War. Through a collection of authentic artefacts, personal stories, and carefully preserved displays, the museum honours the sacrifices made in the name of freedom.

Alongside it, the Museum of the British Resistance Organisation reveals the remarkable story of Britain’s Secret Army. Housed within original Nissen huts and featuring a unique replica underground bunker, the museum offers a rare glimpse into what has been described as ‘Britain’s best-kept war secret’.

Both museums are operated under a single Management Committee. Parham Airfield Museum relies entirely on volunteer support and donations to continue its work — maintaining the site, preserving its remarkable collections, and sharing this important history with future generations
