Duxford is the largest aviation museum in Europe. It covers everything from Spitfires to Concorde, and some non-aviation related displays.
There are opportunities to board some aircraft, and also to see some in flight.
RAF Duxford played a central role in some of the most dramatic days in 20th. century history - serving as a base for many Spitfire and Hurricane pilots, including Group Captain Douglas Bader, during WWII

Not just British - Duxford houses the American Air Museum, which boasts the largest collection of US aircraft outside America.
There is also a British Aircraft Collection, Battle of Britain Exhibition, Naval Collection, Royal Anglian Regiment Museum, and tanks, trucks and artillery in the Land Warfare Hall. Finally, 'The Forgotten War' Exhibition looks at WWII in the Far East, with special attention to the war in Burma.
