Vital air sites

If you are going to study British aircraft history, there are many places you must visit… Not least…

RAF Hendon: Sunderland enjoying space
RAF Coningsby: memorial flight craft + big bomb
East Kirkby museum, Lincolnshire: Lancaster amidst artefacts
RAF Cosford: 2018 air show – Red Arrows approaching

Through the summer of 2018, the RAF took its 100 year anniversary roadshow around the UK.

IWM Duxford: Sunderland squeezed in
IWM Duxford: Airing for a Spitfire
IWM Duxford: Lancaster squeezed
RAF Cosford: Red Arrows receding
