The Battle of Britain

Americans at Duxford

Meet the Veterans

Sunday 27, Tuesday 29, Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 October

11am to 1pm on selected days in AirSpace

Meet and chat with veterans, all with very different backgrounds and experiences, who have served in a range of conflicts.  They cover a wide range of ages.  Some served in the Second World War, the Malayan Conflict or the Korean War while others have served in contemporary conflicts across the globe, including Northern Ireland, the Falklands War, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Veterans in attendance over the four days range from members of the Royal Air Force, Army and Royal Navy to National Service conscripts and civilians who experienced the Second World War Home Front as children, playing on the wartime bomb sites and enduring air raids, rationing and evacuation.

Attendance by veterans is subject to availability.

Cost:

 

Meet the Veterans sessions are included in standard admission to the museum.

As usual, children aged 15 and under go free.
