Traditiekamer Typhoon: the history of Volkel Air Base

Traditiekamer Typhoon tells the story of how Volkel Air Base came about and how it has been used. Because the display is on military premises, a visit starts with registering in good time.

Plan your visit ↗

A base through time

Documents, uniforms, equipment and aircraft parts offer different ways into the story. First follow the main historical thread and then choose a subject you would like to explore further. That way changes in use and equipment remain distinguishable from one another.

Looking around with explanation

Video and a guided tour support the display. Ask in advance which parts will be available during your visit; an earlier visitor report is no guarantee of, for example, a simulator activity. The fixed guided tour times determine how you plan the appointment.

Registering and identification

Register at least a week in advance and wait for confirmation. Bring valid ID and arrive in plenty of time for the entry procedure. The Tuesday and Friday hours are not walk-in times; there are no guided tours on public holidays.

Before you go

Register in advance, wait for confirmation and bring valid ID. Military premises are not freely accessible.
