The Battle of Britain Air Show brings to life Duxford’s finest hour as an important Second World War fighter station, where dozens of lovingly restored and maintained historic aircraft take to the skies in a spectacular homage to the fliers of the day. There is also the option to explore the Operations Room from where the aerial campaign was directed and tour the restoration hangar where engineers prepare classic aircraft for flight.

Capturing the vibrancy and energy of the period, this event not only brings together historic aircrafts but celebrates the music, entertainment, history and importance of that time. Complete with live air shows and a chance to get up close to some of the planes, this is an experience you’ll want to get onboard with!

With over 200 planes, tanks and boats, the IWM Duxford is a fascinating journey through British military history.
