IWM Duxford and its collection

IWM Duxford
Source

IWM Duxford is Europe’s largest air museum with over 300 aircraft and objects on display. Get up close to Spitfires and Hurricanes; see a portion of the original Wright Brother plane; walk through Concorde, feel dwarfed by the size of a B-52 and stand in awe of Europe’s only SR-71 Blackbird – the fastest jet ever built. Learn about the role the site played during the First and Second World Wars and hear the stories of those who took part in key battles such as Dunkirk, D-Day and the Battle of Britain. See live conservation in action and watch restored aircraft take to the skies from the historic airfield.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    IWM Duxford, located in Duxford, England, is a renowned aviation museum and former RAF base. The museum offers an extensive collection of aircraft, military vehicles, and exhibits spanning various periods of aviation history. Visitors appreciate the vast hangars housing well-preserved planes, from WWI-era aircraft to modern jets. The museum's strength lies in its interactive displays and the opportunity to see restoration work in progress. Many reviewers highlight the annual air shows as a major attraction. The museum's size is both a pro and a con; while it offers a comprehensive experience, some visitors find it overwhelming and suggest allocating a full day for the visit. The staff and volunteers are often praised for their knowledge and enthusiasm. However, some visitors mention that the signage and layout can be confusing at times. The on-site facilities, including cafes and gift shops, receive mixed reviews, with some finding them adequate and others suggesting improvements. Despite these minor issues, IWM Duxford is generally regarded as an informative and engaging experience for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
