Flags are used to show identity - the United Kingdom uses the Union Jack flag for example! 

One of the most famous examples of identity flags is the LGBTQ+ rainbow coloured flag - it is recognised internationally as being a special symbol of the community. 

Why not create your own identity flag - in celebration of Pride Month? Download our worksheet below and share your creations with us on social media @rafmlearning

We are taking part in #TheWildEscape - an initiative for museums and schools to be inspired by examples of wildlife found in museum and gallery collections. 

We are inviting schools to take part in the project alongside us by taking part in our Wild Escape activities.

Why not take part in our nature trail and explore the biodiversity of our Museum site? Learn about the links between aircraft and nature through biomimicry too. (Don't worry if the weather is bad - you might find examples of these animals hidden in our exhibitions!).

Dive back in time and explore stories of the past. Our Second World War scenarios will help you do that. Watch our short clips and discover the real life stories inspired by some of the aircraft in our collection. Use our handy storyboard to piece together the puzzle.

Investigate a story surrounding the famous de Havilland Mosquito, an adaptable RAF aircraft from the Second World War or a Vickers Wellington, a large RAF bomber aircraft from the Second World War. You will be guided through the story, until the vital moment… and then it all stops. It’s down to you to finish off the story using your imagination. We encourage drawings to go along with your ending. Don’t worry though, we will tell you the real end of the story so you can see how close you were. Let your imaginations fly.
