We were at Duxford to complete an experience at the Aerial Collective and included was an admission to the IWM here. We only had time to visit 2 of the 4 hangars as the Spitfire flight took almost half a day of our time. I would recommend ensuring you have a whole day to take in all there is to see and do here.

There is an extensive amount of information on all the aircraft. Extremely friendly and helpful staff are around to answer questions and provide help. I really enjoyed my experience walking on Concorde and learning about all the extensive testing that went into making sure this plane was safe to fly. One could spend hours and hours in this hangar of beautiful aircraft. Entrance fee is included in the overall Duxford ticket....
