Built in 1942 on the edge of RAF Langham, this intriguing
building utilised innovative technology to train
anti-aircraft gunners. This lovingly restored military
museum was one of the first examples of virtual technology.
Long before digital virtual reality was invented, moving
images projected onto the inside of the Dome taught brave
trainees how to shoot down enemy aircraft successfully. More
than seventy-eight years after the end of World War 2, a
visit to the Dome offers a unique opportunity to journey
back in time and experience what life was like for those who
served at RAF Langham.
Our lively displays and
hands-on activities make Langham Dome a fantastic place to
visit with the whole family. Be inspired by our story, and
marvel at the ingenious way in which the Dome solved a
perplexing problem in desperate times.
Our mission is
to reveal the significance of the Dome and RAF Langham in
the defence of Britain during and after World War II, and to
remember the sacrifices made by service personnel.
We have ample free parking and a delightful picnic area
under our wonderful full-size replica Spitfire. Lavazza hot
drinks, cold drinks and snacks available during opening
hours. See our website and social media for more
information.
