Norwich Museum took delivery of its latest exhibit, Nimrod MR2 XV255 on Monday 24th May 2010. The aircraft had flown down from its home base of Kinloss in Scotland. This aircraft has been allocated to Cosford Air Museum but due to the length of Cosford's runway, was reallocated to the city of Norwich Aviation Museum instead.
