We have now been set a closure date by the authorities at RAF Henlow. This will currently be by the end of June 2024 but we will close for visitors after the June 2024 Open Day, and start to dispose of our exhibits.
Photographs of our exhibits for disposal are here.
Please go to the Museum Closure page for more information.
This Museum attempts to tell the story of RAF Signals. It is hoped visitors and signallers past, present and future can see something of the heritage upon which the Museum specialisation has been built. Whichever category you, the visitor fall into, we hope you will find your visit both interesting and informative. We have a lot of working equipment which we can demonstrate including transmitters, receivers and radar consoles.
Close-down update
Following discussions with the close down team and with the gracious consent of the Station Commander, the Signals Museum close-down date was slightly extended to the 8th June 2024. This extension allowed the Museum to take an active part in the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day on 6th June.
Visiting the Museum
We are no longer holding open days but will accommodate pre-arranged visits by small parties on the understanding that we are now in the disposal period and therefore some items may be missing. Tuesday is our working day and therefore the preferable day to visit. Please email Curator@SignalsMuseum.uk to arrange a date/time or for information.
To get a pass to visit, visitors should park in the Vistor's Car Park and then go to the Guardroom across the road with a suitable photo identity document (see below). Opening times are from 10:00, and doors close at 16:00 unless arranged differently.
Visitors Identity
Visitors must bring Official photo ID for booking in at the Guardroom for all visits.
A Passport, Photo Driving Licence or an over 60's Bus Pass is acceptable.
