The American Air Museum at Duxford has recently reopened after extensive restoration. The exhibition tells the story of Anglo-American co-operation from the First World War to the present day through the personal stories of those men and women who are intrinsically linked with the aircraft on display and enriched by fascinating objects from their lives.
Get Togethers
We will try to plan some get togethers or dinners in London and Cambridge for people interested. We might try to set up a get-together with the Royal Aero Club or Royal Aeronautical Society while we are in UK.
Airshow Tickets

Flight Recommendations
It is always wise to book early, prices go up as the summer travel season gets closer. Generally low cost tickets disappear about 4 months before travel.
