The RAF Bircham Newton Memorial Project was established in 2005 to commemorate the distinguished history of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force at Bircham Newton between 1918 and 1962.

The project established permanent memorials to those who served at RAF Bircham Newton and at nearby RAF Docking. The project also opened a heritage centre to display some of the history of those people who played a vital role at the station over its long history.
