The Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre is located within RNZAF Base Ohakea and there is limited public access by prior arrangement only.
New security requirements at Ohakea means there are restrictions on how we can request visits by public groups. Visit requests to us can be for Biggin Hill visits ONLY and not elsewhere on Base. Multiple vehicle visits cannot generally be supported until sometime in 2026 when we will have access to a public entrance for special occasions.
Visits by BUS are welcome for larger groups.
Contact email for Biggin Hill visits ONLY:
Important Note: General requests for any broader visits to RNZAF Base Ohakea (ie. when you wish to visit other locations as well as/instead of Biggin Hill) should be directed to:
Base Adjutant,
RNZAF Base Ohakea
Private Bag,
Palmerston North
Please note that although on-line mapping programs and some GPS units still show the Ohakea Branch of the Air Force Museum being located on Base (with public access/cafe etc), this facility closed some years ago. The Air Force Museum of New Zealand is located in Christchurch and its website link is www.airforcemuseum.co.nz
