Established at the end of the First World War to train the newly formed RAF's pilots, Imperial War Museum Duxford is Europe's premier aviation museum, with many original period buildings such as the Control Tower and hangars still in use, alongside state-of-the-art, award-winning exhibition buildings including AirSpace and the American Air Museum.
Two hundred aircraft are on display, whilst over 50 historic flying aircraft, based at the airfield, regularly take to the sky.
Duxford also has one of the finest collections of tanks, military vehicles and artillery in the UK.
The Museum holds four air shows throughout the year plus other events such as a Military Vehicle Show, American Air Day, family activities, expert lectures and much more.
