Duxford is Europe's premier aviation museum - as well as having one of the finest collections of tanks, military vehicles and naval exhibits in the country.
This famous heritage site began as an airfield in the First World War and also played a vital role in the Second World War, firstly as an RAF fighter station and later as an American fighter base.

The American Air Museum in Britain stands as a memorial to the 30,000 American airmen who gave their lives flying from UK bases in defence of liberty during the Second World War, and also honours those who fought in Korea, Vietnam, Libya, Iraq and other conflicts and battles of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Welcome to AirSpace, Duxford's remarkable new £25 million exhibition of British and Commonwealth aviation, celebrating our rich military and civilian heritage.  Discover for yourself the who, what, when, why and how of aircraft as you pass along the interactive Exhibition Gallery, before heading out across the Skybridge to meet, face to face, over 30 of the rarest and most treasured military and civil British and Commonwealth aircraft, some suspended above you, as if in flight.  
 

As well as an extensive selection of jet and piston aero engines, a wide selection of armaments and other large objects, AirSpace is home to remarkable aircraft such as the Mosquito, Lysander, Lancaster, TSR-2, Lightning, Canberra, York, Vulcan, Swordfish, Spitfire Mk. 24, Sunderland, Oxford, Anson, Harrier, Buccaneer and Tornado.  Duxford's famous Concorde is also on display and open to the public for internal viewing.  Exciting, engaging and inspirational, AirSpace is a must for old and young alike.
