caption_attribution_description: English: RAF Radar Museum Entrance to the RAF radar museum in Neatishead. Both RAF Neatishead and RAF Coltishall are now closed and the future of the still open (to-date) RAF Radar Museum in Neatishead may be uncertain. The first radar system was installed here in September 1941, and after the war the station was established as a Sector Operations Centre and in use until 1993. A year later the original operations building, which housed the old equipment, was converted into the Air Defence Radar Museum, and after the closure of RAF Coltishall on 1st April 2006, the RAF Coltishall Memorial Room was opened - it houses a collection of photographs, trophies, memorials and artifacts. The RAF Radar Museum has won the 2007 Gold Award for 'Best Small Visitor Attraction" in England. For more information see: http://www.radarmuseum.co.uk/
context_page_description: The Royal Air Force Air Defence Radar Museum is a museum on the site of the former Royal Air Force radar and control base RAF Neatishead, close to the village of Horning in Norfolk, England.
  The museum's exhibitions cover the history of air defence in the United Kingdom, in particular the development of radar from the 1930s until the end of the Cold War. The museum includes a complete Cold War-era Operations Room from which the air defence of Britain was conducted for several decades, as well as many examples of original radar and communications equipment, and an exhibit of a Royal Observer Corps Nuclear Reporting Post. There is also a gallery devoted to the history of the nearby RAF Coltishall.
  The Museum is largely staffed by volunteers, many of whom served previously in the RAF.
  The Museum is a registered charity, number 1058887.
