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.
