Take off to the RAF Museum Midlands and
enjoy a great day out for all the family. Experience an
unforgettable journey through more than a century of RAF history,
in this free-to-enter National Museum.
Explore the
inspiring story of the Royal Air Force and the people who serve
through a unique collection ranging from fragile biplanes to
supersonic fast jets, from personal logbooks to treasured lucky
charms.
Begin with the daring Knights of the Air who took
to the skies in the First World War. Step into the service’s
Finest Hour where a Hurricane, a West Midlands-built Boulton Paul
Defiant and the oldest surviving Spitfire proudly share the
challenges of the Battle of Britain. Discover how RAF Bomber
Command took the war to the enemy, exploring powerful stories of
courage, innovation and sacrifice.
In the National Cold War
Exhibition, the only place in the world where you can see a
Vulcan, Victor and Valiant together, explore the tension of the
nuclear age. Audio-visual hotspots delve into the Space Race, the
Cuban Missile Crisis and anti-war protest.
Family fun
continues in Flight Zone, where you can experience our 4D theatre,
take a 360° Spitfire VR flight, pilot a Eurofighter Typhoon
simulator or glide through the skies on the ParadropVR. The
