IWM Duxford-Lancaster access

If anyone is in the area between the 11th-19th Feb, then IWM Duxford are opening their Lancaster daily between 11.30am-3.30pm.

There is a daily talk about the aircraft at 11 am in AirSpace, then you will be able to get inside the aircraft and be talked through the aircraft by museum staff/volunteers.


A rare chance to get inside an aviation legend.

Thanks Nutloose.

For anyone who's not been inside a Lancaster I think it will both surprise and scare in equal measure!

Be aware that as it is half term there are lots of families visiting also each person is only allowed four minutes in the aircraft.

However the talk was interesting, lots of info about crews and aircraft.
