The Cold War Jets Collection (CWJC) is based at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, a former Royal Air Force station located near Lutterworth, Leicestershire in the United Kingdom.

CWJC owns the airfield, which also hosts other preservation groups, such as the Lightning Preservation Group, the Buccaneer Aviation Group and GJD AeroTech.

The airfield is open on Sundays from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm when aircraft are displayed. Demonstrations of fast taxi runs are carried out on the two open days held each year, usually May Bank Holiday Sunday and August Bank Holiday Sunday.
