Volunteering with IWM Duxford

Volunteers contribute to the work of IWM Duxford in lots of different ways. Voluntary roles include:

  • Aircraft conservation
  • Tour guiding
  • Front of house roles such as the Friends of Duxford fast track admissions desk
  • Military vehicle conservation
  • Volunteering for the Duxford Radio Society on radio conservation and explaining radio communication to the public  

Some of the opportunities are with the Duxford Aviation Society, which is a separate charity based here at the museum.
