In June 1940, Britain and its Empire stood alone against the formidable might of Nazi Germany. Outnumbered and out-gunned, they faced an unprecedented challenge as the greatest air battle in history loomed over the skies of Britain. This was the Battle of Britain, a pivotal moment that would determine the fate of the nation.

Join in on an immersive tour where you can get up close to the very aircraft that soared through the skies during this historic conflict.

Highlights:

  • Discover the incredible stories of the Spitfire and Hurricane, the legendary fighter planes that, along with their brave pilots, became symbols of hope and resilience.
  • Learn how these aircraft and their pilots defied the odds, flying into legend and securing their place in history.
  • This exclusive tour offers a rare opportunity to step behind the barriers and engage with the most iconic collections. You'll encounter the only place in the world that houses four authentic Battle of Britain fighter aircraft, each with its own unique story to tell.
  • Experience the thrill of seeing these historic machines up close and gain a deeper understanding of their significance in one of the most crucial battles of World War II.
  • These tours take place on selected days at 11:00am and 2:00pm.
