Where: Imperial War Museum, Duxford
Duxford and the Battle of Britain Tour will take place on the following dates:
IWM Duxford launches a brand new tour to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Duxford and the Battle of Britain looks at Duxford’s role as a typical Battle of Britain Fighter Station, examining the communications systems employed to win the battle in the air, including the teleprinter communications and the Operations Room.
It also compares and contrasts the iconic aircraft flown during the Battle of Britain – the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane and Messerschmitt Bf 109 – and gives visitors an insight into the fighter ‘aces’ who flew from Duxford, telling some of their more infamous escapades.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about Duxford’s role as a Battle of Britain fighter station, with a tour that is only available in this very special anniversary year.
Explore the exhibits during this ninety-minute tour and, as the group will not exceed 20 people, there will be plenty of opportunities for questions, debate and personal interaction.
