This event will be held at the RAF Museum at Cosford starting at 10 am. To comply with the Museum’s requirements regarding COVID 19, we will have our own dedicated display area where we can meet fellow enthusiasts while safely social distancing. There will also be free access to all areas of the museum where you may see not only the awesome aircraft but also other aviation-related artefacts. PLEASE NOTE: Face Masks MUST be worn when inside the museum buildings. See: https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/

Celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain – Cosford is home to the world’s oldest Spitfire, the Cosford Museum houses a collection of both British and German aircraft from the Battle of Britain era.  The Spitfire forms the centre piece of the new display, where the RAF’s frontline fighters, the Spitfire, Hurricane, Gladiator and Defiant are face to face with their German rivals the Me 109 and Ju88, to tell a coherent story.  Previously unseen objects from the Museum’s collection including a Rhino suit worn by Defiant pilots, Dowding’s jacket, artefacts from the plotting rooms and medal bars, will share the stories of the people who helped win the Battle, in the air and on the ground.  A highlight of the new display is James Nicolson’s flying jacket and medal bar containing his VC medal, the only VC awarded during the Battle.  Nicolson also flew the Spitfire on display at Cosford.
