It is no longer possible to visit the museum as the building is empty, despite what it says below and in the rest of the site.

The remainder of the  site will stay as is, to become a Virtual Museum.

Please go to the   Museum Closure page for more information about the closure.

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.

Our last Open day has gone by and so
we are closed to all visitors.

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.

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 closed for visitors after the June 8th 2024 Open Day, and will start to dispose of our exhibits.
