    Would you like to know more about RAF Museum Cosford?

    We’re based in Shropshire next door to an RAF base, we’re a museum dedicated to the history of aviation through the story of the Royal Air Force and this year we are 50 years old.

    We have some great thing to see, we have the oldest surviving Supermarine Spitfire on display as well as all 3 V bombers, the only place you can see all three together the Victor, Valiant and the Vulcan.

    This summer we are organising a tour of one of our Spitfires and we will be coming to Coventry in the middle of June. I would like to work with some groups and organisations before this to get people engaged and excited. I would like to come and visit some groups and I could bring some activities with me. I have some objects to handle and talk about and could bring some other activities along too, and this would be free!

    The museum has their strategy 2030 where this is our ambition,

    Inspiring everyone with the RAF story – the people who shape it, and its place in our lives.

    If you think this could be of interest to your organisation or group, please get in touch and we will look at organising a session.
