A world famous architect, Sir Norman Foster, was commissioned to design it, and it IS spectacular \u2013 indeed there were over 50,000 individual US subscribers to help with the funding, and it opened with much fanfare in September 1995. It is 61 feet high and 330 feet deep, dimensions being dictated by the need to accommodate the classic, and huge, B-52, along with the SR Blackbird and others in the same \u201cunique category.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re into aviation virtually every aspect of Duxford will thrill you, but one of the things that I found especially fascinating, was the large number of workshops (many are the real WW2 hangars!) where skilled mechanics are restoring aircraft. History buffs will know that back in the dark days of the early 1940s, Duxford played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain when it was an RAF fighter base. It was also where the famous RAF Ace Douglas Bader was based \u2013 not only for his flying skills, but it was where he became known for the fact that even though he had no legs, the RAF still wanted him to fly as a fighter pilot, and so fitted him with artificial ones.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15219\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15219\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B17G-Flying-Fortress.jpg\" alt=\"B17G Flying Fortress at the Duxford Aviation Museum\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B17G-Flying-Fortress.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B17G-Flying-Fortress-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B17G-Flying-Fortress-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/B17G-Flying-Fortress-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of the Duxford Tourist Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Later in the war the USAAF took over operations at Duxford culminating \u2013 in December 1944 \u2013 with Duxford being a USAAF P-51 Mustang fighter base. Sadly, by 1969, Duxford was no longer required as an active air force base, and closure seemed on the horizon. But then the IWM stepped in, and requested that some of some of its (stored) aircraft be placed there on as permanent basis. Over the years its aircraft collection grew and grew and by August 2005 Duxford welcomed its ten millionth IWM visitor!!!<\/p>\n<p>There are numerous air shows throughout the year, and to learn more about every aspect of the place, Google it and type in \u201cDuxford Aviation Museum\u201d and you\u2019ll see a long list of websites. Get your tickets online as well, as it saves time and money. There are rates for seniors (60 plus), kids, groups and students. If you\u2019re in London, the fastest way to get there is a 45 minute ride in an express train from Kings Cross Station to Cambridge, and then either a bus or taxi to Duxford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Gathering of Eagles; A Pride of Lions, or a Flight of Airline Pilots; any of which might well be a description of an aviation heaven that\u2019s about 50 miles from London, and is only 45 minutes by express train.
