Visiting Us

Part of a Great Day Out at IWM Duxford

Admission to the British Airliner Collection is included with your IWM Duxford ticket — giving you access to one of the most vibrant and dynamic collections of aviation and military history in the UK.

Flying displays take place most days (weather permitting). You might see a 1930s biplane carrying passengers across the skies — or experience the unmistakable sound of a Spitfire roaring overhead.

On the ground, you can step aboard our historic airliners and discover what passenger flight was like half a century ago. Concorde 101 is open daily from 10:30 to 15:00.

Disclaimer: Aircraft will be open depending on weather and availability of volunteers.
