The thing about Duxford is that it’s an historical, working airbase. The buildings are as important as many of the aircraft and vehicles. If the weather is good you’re also quite likely to see aircraft flying.
The Liberator is painted in the colours representing the aircraft that Col.Bob Vickers flew.("Dugan" was his father's nickname) The B52 is the same one he flew in Vietnam (total coincidence) and finally, Col.Bob flew a Blackbird and told me that having reached so-called maximum ceiling, the aircraft was still accelerating and it felt as if it would just carry-on into Space !!.....God Rest your soul, Bob.
The airliner under Concorde that you filmed onboard is a Handley Page Hermes, it's the sole survivor of it's type. It along with Concorde, York, Comet and the rest of the airliners at Duxford are not owned by IWM but the Duxford aviation society who are a charity. The models in the cabinet are all the Airliners in DAS's owner ship that are at Duxford.
Definitely one of the top aviation museums in the world. A comprehensive collection of British military aircraft, some great civil aircraft such as the Comet and Concorde, and the most impressive collection of American planes you'll find outside of the US. The Land Warfare Museum is kind of a bonus, since the rest is aviation-focused, but it's really good as well. Rhetorical question: where else are you going to find a TSR-2? Well, they've got one at Cosford, but that's it. That's another museum I'll have to make my way to someday.
A really amazing place if you are interested in Planes and History. I have not been for several years but visited many times in the 80s and 00s. My friend and local pub landlord was on the committee for a few years. Some IWMs have gone woke but not Duxford.

Went back there last year for the first time in around 9 years and it was fantastic as I remembered
That’s awesome. Do you have a favourite bit?

You missed the chunk of Tirpitz they have next to the Fritz X. I was really shocked to see something that just laying there when I went

I am a member at IWM Duxford, I visit quite frequently, and have also taken a few flights with Classic Wings in their Dragon Rapides and Tiger Moths!

Are you heterosexual
