Immerse yourself in the stories of brave pilots, engineers, and heroes to discover the adventures of men and women through the RAF Museum’s exciting and unique stories. Explore local history where it happened, through the museum’s award winning, exciting, and engaging learning programmes.

The team explores culture, diversity and social stereotypes to gain a wider view of history of the RAF, the UK, democracy and diversity – there’s something to entice everyone, both onsite and streamed to your classroom.
