Prepare, Attack, Defend and Support

Discover the history of the Royal Air Force through four of its principal roles: Prepare, Attack, Defend and Support.

The exhibition combines personal accounts with uniforms, equipment, photographs and previously unseen artefacts. Together, they reveal how the RAF and the people serving within it have responded to conflict, technological change and humanitarian emergencies.

From defending Britain during the Second World War to delivering aid overseas, these stories demonstrate that the RAF’s history is about much more than aircraft. It is also a history of service, teamwork, courage and ordinary people facing extraordinary situations.
