Take to the skies with the Imperial War Museums
Experience the speed, power and agility of historic and contemporary fighter aircraft as they dominate the skies over IWM Duxford at The Duxford Air Show.
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the formation of RAF Fighter Command, the air show highlights Duxford’s role as a wartime fighter station, looks at how the nation has been defended from air attack, and shows the vital importance of fighters to winning control of the largest battlefront on earth. Examples of these famous aircraft from past and present will fly in partnership, as we compare and contrast their enduring skills and abilities, and look at what it takes to be a fighter pilot.
A huge day out
From the early days of flight, through to the dramatic days of the Second World War and the technological advances of the Cold War, IWM Duxford has played a central role in some of the most significant periods of 20th-century history.Inside every hangar and exhibition, you’ll discover iconic aircraft, see historic objects from our collections and uncover hundreds of personal stories of the many lives impacted by conflict.
Veteran broadcaster and Formula One commentator Murray Walker has been at the Imperial War Museum to experience first hand the speed, power and agility of historic and contemporary fighter aircraft as they dominate the skies over Duxford.
Working closely with the Imperial War Museum and PLanesTV, Cambridge Filmworks have produced a suite of films capturing all the thrills, excitement and nostalgia of these spectacular events.
In this first film we meet with one of the daring display pilots who talks us through what it’s like to take the controls and take to the skies.
