Bottisham Air Museum, Wilbraham Road, CB25 9BU

This event is now fully booked. We are operating a waitlist and you can join this via the Eventbrite booking link.

Enjoy a guided tour of this less well known World War II airfield and see the collection of artefacts telling the personal stories of some of those based at the airfield. Bottisham was unique as the only airfield to host three different Air Forces, during World War II.

The Museum opened in 2009 and is the only UK museum dedicated to the Royal Air Force, United States 8th Army Air Force and Belgian Air Forces. The museum operates out of the last remaining airfield buildings to exist within the airfield's original perimeter.

Come and find out about Alex Macmillan- a fighter pilot who was shot down whilst flying from Bottisham and was taken to Stalag Luft III - you can see our new exhibit; a recreation of a POW hut like the ones in the Great Escape.

Our Flying Tractor Cafe will be open as usual serving hot and cold drinks, cakes, sandwiches and ice-creams and you can see our P51-D Mustang replica aircraft.
