Royal Air Force Museum

The Royal Air Force Museum presents the history of British and world aviation. It has two branches - in London and Shropshire. Admission is free.

The London branch is located in the Colindale district, at the former airport. The opening of the exhibition, which had 36 aircraft at the time, took place in 1972. The ribbon was cut by Elizabeth II. Currently, over 130 aircraft have been gathered in 5 halls, including bombers, fighters, helicopters, seaplanes. The collection is complemented by air service cars, fuel tanks and fire trucks. Exhibits are also divided thematically. One of the halls is entirely dedicated to the Battle of Britain, the next - the history of bomber development.

In addition to the exhibition of aviation facilities, the museum presents technical drawings and multimedia projections. The place is child friendly. In the Aeronauts gallery, they can take the helicopter or conduct scientific experiments. The museum also has a 4D cinema.
