2010 Season

February, 2010

February 1st marks the opening of the Museum for its 2010 Season. Much work has been carried out during the two month Winter shutdown period by the teams of Volunteers without whose continuing efforts the Museum would not be the success it is.

Among the new features for 2010 are:

  • A new Bomber Command exhibit (opens February 11th)
  • New exhibition on the 16th August 1940 raid on Tangmere Airfield
  • A new film on Guy Gibson, leader of the famous Dam Busters raid
  • New displays of service medals and some of the stories behind them
