Monday 3rd September: Imperial War Museum, Duxford

After the conference on Monday we will travel to the air museum at Duxford, just outside Cambridge.

There will be two groups: Coaches leave the University Arms Hotel at 6.10pm and 7.20pm.

Car drivers need to collect a permit for Duxford from the conference registration desk.

Each group will have a buffet meal and then be divided into three groups for a guided tour of one of the following:

• Airspace Hangar (includes Concorde)
• America Hangar
• Land Warfare Hall

This event is kindly sponsored by The Positive Internet Company and Collabora. Tickets are free for those registered for the conference. Guest tickets cost £22 (inc. VAT).

Brief history

The Imperial War Museum had been looking for a suitable site for the storage, restoration and eventual display of exhibits too large for its headquarters in London and obtained permission to use the airfield for this purpose. Cambridgeshire County Council joined with the Imperial War Museum and the Duxford Aviation Society and in 1977 bought the runway to give the abandoned aerodrome a new lease of life.

Today Duxford is established as the European centre of aviation history. The historic site, outstanding collections of exhibits and regular world-renowned air shows combine to create a unique museum where history really is in the air.
