New: Family Tours

A group of young children are exploring an outdoor exhibit, eagerly touching and examining a metal railing. The children are engaged and curious, with one boy in a blue sweater expressing excitement. An adult, partially visible in the background, oversees the group, holding a clipboard. The setting appears to be a park or educational center.

Are you visiting with budding young pilots in tow? Book one of our family tours, created especially to inspire the minds of our younger visitors. Hear the stories behind our exhibits as our guides share tales of aerial adventures and daring escapades.

What significance did a stuffed penguin have for one airman? How did a pilot save his plane while the wing was on fire? And just what were the grim effects of using castor oil in aircraft engines?

Finally, you will have the exciting opportunity to step on board our VC10. There you can take a seat in the cockpit and experience the thrill of being the captain of a large aircraft.

Tickets are £12.50 per child and £10.00 per adult - under-6s go free! Suitable for groups up to 10, email midlandscustomerenquiries@rafmuseum.org to book.
