The 75th Anniversary of the inaugural flight of the Canberra, the RAF's first jet bomber, is on Monday 13 May 2024.
This milestone in aviation history will be celebrated at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum at Doncaster over the weekend, 11/12 May 2024. As well as featuring the Museum's unique collection of Canberra cockpits, the Museum will host others brought in specially for this important weekend. There will also be exhibitions and displays about the Canberra, book signings, with some former RAF squadrons intending to hold reunions. In addition, there will be a series of presentations on both days. It is also hoped that there will be a flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on Saturday 11 May.

The South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum is a brilliant museum for families and enthusiasts alike, run by enthusiasts who volunteer to give up their time to keep our aviation heritage alive and make it available to many who are unable to visit places like Duxford or Hendon.
