About 100 Open Cockpits and Cabs

o celebrate the 100 years since the formation of the RAF, our London and Cosford sites will be offering visitors the rare and exciting chance to get a closer look inside 100 cockpits and vehicles from our collection during our Open Cockpit and Cab events which take place during four events at each site.

Lucky ticket holders will have the opportunity to view a wide range of aircraft and vehicles which aren’t usually open to the public. 

The event will allow you to get a feel for what it was like to fly or drive these much loved machines. Details of the aircraft accessible at each event will be announced in the New Year.

The aim of the Appeal is to raise money for the RAF family and to create a lasting legacy as we celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force.
