The air show was, not surprisingly, held in Duxford. Duxford has a former Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield that was used a lot during the Battle of Britain. ‘Battle of Britain’ is a name given to the air attacks waged by the German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, against the UK during the summer and autumn of 1940.

There is a museum at the airfield where you can view old and new planes and enter some of them. We got inside some planes including the Concorde. I always thought that plane was much bigger. We didn’t get to see everything of the museum since there are a lot of planes, bombs, vehicles,… to view and the air show started at 2PM.

You can view the photos in my gallery linked here and in the top menu. I’ll provide some interesting links about the Battle of Britain and Duxford too. It was good fun!
