Imperial War Museum Duxford

If someone is looking for historical aircraft and especially for the technical evolution in the 20th Century he has to visit the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. Beside the RAF Museum at Hendon the IWM at Duxford has the most complete collection of British aircraft from the last century. Beside this several privately funded groups are operating their Warbirds from Duxford.
