The Duxford Aviation Society

Where are we? The society shares the site at Duxford Airfield with the Imperial War Museum. The airfield is situated some ten miles south of the city of Cambridge, just off the M11 at junction 10. The Museum occupies the site of the famous World War II aerodrome and it is still an active airfield and home to a number of flying warbirds including the Sally B. The airfield is the venue for some of the best warbird airshows in this country. The site is large enough, so despite the large number of historic aircraft housed there, it never feels crowded. There are five main aircraft hangers plus the Land Warfare Hall and the unique American Air Museum. What do we do? The society aims to acquire, restore and display to the public civil aircraft that have a place in the development of civil aviation in this country. We want to provide an opportunity for people to see some of the aircraft that go towards making up the civil aviation heritage of this country. What are we? The Duxford Aviation Society is a wholly volunteer organisation, dependant upon funds that we raise through our own efforts, we receive no government assistance. We have what is probably the largest collection of historic civil airliners in the hands of a volunteer group. The society is a registered charity.
