If you're interested in military aircraft, this could be right up your street.
The RAF Air Defence Radar Museum at Neatishead, external , near Wroxham, has just taken delivery of its new acquisition... a fully preserved cockpit of a Handley Page Victor Bomber.
This former 55 Squadron's cockpit was changed into a simulator for pilot training, so didn't see a great deal of operational service.
If you squeeze yourself inside, you'll find two pilot seats and the instrumentation, which has been wonderfully preserved.
The cockpit had previously been on display at Newark Aviation Museum, but because it was outside it was degrading.
It'll now be housed in the former fire engine bay at Neatishead.

BBC Radio NorfolkThe fire on the edge of Tattersett Business Park near Fakenham has been put out with little damage caused.
It's believed the fire in some rubbish behind these unused buildings (pictured) was set alight in the early hours of the morning.
Three fire crews were sent to deal with it and it was quickly extinguished.
The site is owned by property developer Roger Gawn. He bought this strip, which includes some of the old service buildings for the former American base, last year.
Some forensic tests are being carried out by Norfolk Police to find out how the fire was started.

Image source, Archant'Spiritual and financial' help for brain tumour daughterpublished at 10:26 British Summer Time 4 April 2017
Kenny Thomas says the help he's received since launching a fundraising appeal to pay for alternative treatment for his daughter Christina has been "totally amazing".
Earlier this year, four-year-old Christina was diagnosed with a brain tumour , and her parents were told chemotherapy or radiotherapy might prolong her life, but wouldn't save her.
Mr Thomas says the family is staying positive and optimistic, and he's done more research into treatments, narrowing down the ones that would or wouldn't work.
"If we can get her stronger there's an option of a place in America where they claim a 30% success rate," he said.
"It doesn't sound very high, but when you compare it to the western [European] model of surgery, chemo, radiation where's there's a success rate in cases like this of about 5%, then there's an option there."
Image source, Kenny ThmasHe describes his daughter as "sweet and adorable", and isn't surprised that she's touched people's hearts.
The family has received spiritual as well as financial help. One parish in Essex held a vigil in their church until midnight, praying for Christina.
Quote MessageThe part of London where I come from, I've a lot of Jewish friends there. A couple of weeks ago a rabbi was on his way to Rome to have a meeting with Pope Francis and he asked the Pope to pray for her... these things are amazing."

Last month we brought you news of an appeal by 1990s soul singer Kenny Thomas, who lives in Norfolk.
He wanted to raise £80,000 to pay for alternative treatment for his four-year-old daughter Christina who has an inoperable brain tumour.
So far, more than £58,000 has been pledged.
Mr Thomas says he's helped others in the past, and is hoping what goes around comes around.
He's had a lot of support from the music industry, with a couple of shows in the next few months in Essex and London featuring T'Pau, Heaven 17, Tony Hadley and others.
"A lot of people are doing things for me... they've just swung into action, and it's been amazing," he said.
Image source, Kenny ThomasKenny says the help they're getting has given them options.
Christina has up and down days, "more up than down", and they're pressing on with the different supplements from the USA.
Quote MessageThey're having a positive effect, we're certainly buying ourselves more quality time and health time."

Town 'over developed' claims deputy mayorpublished at 09:25 British Summer Time 4 April 2017
Councillors in Downham Market say plans to build 300 new homes in the town would have placed too much pressure on local services.
Yesterday West Norfolk Borough Council refused the application , but they did allow 170 houses for the site to the south east of the town.
Image source, GoogleDeputy mayor of Downham Market Town Council, external , Frank Daymond, says the town has been over-developed for many years.
"We want time for the other facilities in the town to catch up... utilities like water, electric, doctors and dentists," he said.
Quote MessageWe were told there would be no more developments in the town until 2026 - only the installation of existing past plans and developments. Now they've changed their minds... it's too fast, too quick and it doesn't give time for the rest of the establishment to catch up."
