Welcome to the Royal Air Force Museum, Britain’s only national Museum dedicated wholly to aviation. The Museum occupies two public sites at Hendon in North London, and Cosford in Shropshire, West Midlands. Each site offers a unique experience to the visitor and the exhibits complement each other. Both Museums tell the story of aviation from early bi-planes to the latest strike-jets. Both sites are free to enter. With a world-class collection and display of aircraft, integrated with special exhibitions, films, interactives, artwork, engines, missiles, photographs, medals and uniforms and research and education facilities, the Museum takes an innovative approach while keeping with tradition. While offering a detailed insight into aviation technology, it also focuses on the people who made it possible – daredevil early aviators, wartime heroes and the thousands of ordinary Service men and women whose contribution shaped the World today. We also hold exciting events. So book a day out to remember and plan your visit to one of the Royal Air Force Museums.
