Imperial War Museum Duxford is a historic airfield and a museum of aviation history. I was here for the fantastic airshow 19 September 2015 but had some time walking around as well.
I was here many years ago, in 1980, but there has been a lot of development. On the picture you find a map with “1. Airspace” (a special post will come), “2, 3, 4 and 5” are well-filled hangars (and there will be a post on two of them), I missed “6” but below are a few pictures from “7. American Air Museum” and there is still more to see here. Even if there is no air show going on this is a place where you can spend a few days!
You can find several old airliners, with a possibility to enter.
I found this beautiful Vought F4U Corsair…
…and here is the American Air Museum. It is closed until spring 2016 for an exciting redevelopment and will be fitted with an all glass front.
I found this Boeing B-29 Superfortress. When I was here in 1980 it had just landed after a flight across the Atlantic!
This is a huge building with lots of large aircraft hanging from the ceiling and more on the ground.
Duxford also has a lot of small buildings and collections. I found two dealing with radar, navigation and radio. A very knowledgeable guy told me about radar in aircraft during the second world war but also about the incredible system that made it possible to lead bombers from England towards targets in Germany. 
I was here on a very special day and a lot of people were dressed for the occasion…
…with small but interesting exhibitions…
…just about everywhere…
…with actors to retrieve a feeling…
…of the good (?) old days.
This is a small “mobile tower” used to observe airfield activities, especially to make sure aircraft have lowered their landing gear before landing.
Inside I found a colleague of mine, air traffic controller in the RAF, today managing the ATS unit of a military airfield. 
This was a very special day and there will be many more posts from it but I believe any day at Duxford will be a special day!
