The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum (NASAM) had announced earlier this year it would be closed as it undertook a plane swap with the Imperial War Museum (IWM) at Duxford.

And now it has said goodbye to its BA Sea Harrier and welcomed a Jaguar to its hangar, a Cold War plane that was commonly flown from Coltishall.

Jaguars were a common sight in the skies above Norfolk as they were based at RAF Coltishall.

Gary Stebbing, NASAM manager, said: "It was rather sad to see the Sea Harrier go but it has been brilliant to have the Jaguar here.

"The feedback we have had so far is amazing."
