On 14th April, to kick-off the flying season, IWM Duxford are again holding an informal Safety Bonus Day.
Discounted Landing Fee; Free Admission.

Following the successful events in the last five years, the Safety Day will again be a mixture of informal presentations and opportunities to chat to the professionals. The presentations will be repeated, so you can arrive and leave when it suits you best. In recognition of the importance of the Safety theme, there’s no charge for the Safety Day programme and the landing fee is discounted to £7. Also on 14th April only, if the weather is poor, or if you can’t fly in, you can come in free by car – but you must pre-book. You can, of course visit the museum during the day, so there's lots to do -- book early to get the best slots.

There is a fantastic array of experts to talk to about safety and answer any questions that may have been bothering you. This year, the Olympics and the airspace restrictions are weighing heavily on many pilots' minds, but our approachable team are here to help with friendly information and advice.
