The Imperial War Museum - Duxford

Duxford is one of Europe’s premier aviation museums - 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.

There are many things to do and see including:-

The American Air Museum
houses the finest collection of historic American combat aircraft outside the United States.

The Naval Collection
A fascinating range of exhibits from midget submarines to naval helicopters.

The Normandy Experience
looks at the dramatic invasion of Europe on D-Day, June 1944, and the events that followed in Normandy and NW Europe until the end of the war.

And much much more.
