“Explore over 100 historic aircraft from the Royal Air Force. A must-visit for aviation lovers and curious minds alike.”

Royal Air Force Museum London
The Royal Air Force Museum London is a prominent institution that showcases the history, achievements, and evolution of the Royal Air Force (RAF), the United Kingdom’s air warfare force. Located in North London on the site of the former Hendon Aerodrome, the museum is divided into several themed hangars that offer an immersive journey through aviation history.

One of the museum’s main highlights is its vast collection of aircraft from different eras, illustrating the development of aviation technology—from early aircraft designs to modern jet fighters. Iconic planes such as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster Bomber, Avro Vulcan, and a replica F-35 are on display, serving as powerful reminders of the courage and ingenuity of pilots and engineers throughout British history.

The museum features various exhibition zones, including Hangar 1, which covers the overall development of the RAF; Hangars 2–3, focusing on the World Wars; and Hangar 6, dedicated to modern aviation. In addition to static displays, the museum offers interactive exhibits, flight simulators, virtual experiences, and a dedicated children’s area, making it an engaging destination for families, students, and aviation enthusiasts alike.

Special events, workshops, and educational programs are regularly held to inspire and educate younger generations about the past, present, and future of flight and the important role the Royal Air Force has played in shaping modern history.
