Aeropark Home East Midlands Airport

Welcome to the Aeropark

Aerial View of the 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.

Within the Aeropark there is a viewing mound where the top of the viewing mound is just 170 meters north of the main east/west runway of the airport.

The Aeropark at East Midlands Airport is located in the north-west corner of the Airport site close to the village of Castle Donington. It is well signposted from the Airport's main entrance.

Looking forward into 2008


2008 is going to be a very exciting year for the aeropark and the AVA, at the end of 2007 the Aeropark was selected to become one of only 4 museums in the country to pilot a new educational project lead by the British Aircraft Preservation Council (BAPC) of which the Aeropark is a member. This will greatly enhance the experience for the groups including school children and youth groups that visit the Aeropark.
More details will be made available as soon as they are finalized.

There will be a lot of work taking place on the aircraft as soon as the weather is suitable including the painting of the Vulcan, completing the outside of the Argosy and lowering the wings on the Buccaneer.

Dates for the two open days this year have been set as 29th June and 24th August. More details on the Events page.
