There's six huge hangers to explore at London's exciting RAF Museum, each one full of iconic aircraft, memorabilia, factual displays and hands-on experiences. Two new permanent exhibitions opened in 2023 the first was 'Strike Hard, Strike Sure: Bomber Command, 1939-1945' - this exhibition marks the 80th anniversary of the Dam Busters raid, it shares the Bomber Command story through the personal experiences of those that served. The second is titled 'Higher, Faster, Further - The RAF 1919-1939' which tells the story of the RAF's evolution and impressive technological advancement between the two world wars.

You'll find iconic aircraft such as the Avro Lancaster 1, Westland Sea King HAR3, Sepecat Jaguar GR.1, Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVI, Sopwith Snipe, Boeing CH47D Chinook, de Havilland Vampire F3, Panavia Tornado GR1B and hundreds more.
