As well as being an airfield, Duxford houses a huge collection of historical aircraft, together with an impressive land warfare exhibition. The collection covers 85 acres and includes such gems as Concorde, the Lancaster, the Blackbird, the Spitfire, the B17 and hundreds more. A visit to Duxford is a day out in itself so leave plenty of time to look around. See their website on www.iwm.org.uk for more information.
