Bottisham Airfield Museum hosts some great events. Last May I attended the classic car and motorcycle show and it was very cool to see such well cared for vehicles still on the road.

The atmosphere was brilliant — a mix of polished chrome, the smell of fuel, and the steady hum of conversations between proud owners and curious visitors.

It was amazing to see such a wide range of beautifully maintained vehicles still on the road. From vintage British classics to rare motorcycles, every machine had a story behind it. I even brought along my own TVR Chimaera, which sparked a few great conversations with fellow enthusiasts. There’s something special about seeing people light up when they recognise a car they once owned, admired, or dreamed about.

The museum itself is a gem, run by passionate volunteers who care deeply about preserving local aviation history. Events like this help bring the community together while supporting the ongoing work of the museum.
