❤️ Yesterday, we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion. Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family

Some of our textile #artefacts have been delivered to Conservation at University of Lincoln to enable surface cleaning to be carried out. This is only possible with #support from Art Fund, Arts Council England and MDM as MAVC has been awarded an #Open #Grant. More on this project to come soon.

Thank you 👍 RAF BBMF OC BBMF for a treat late yesterday afternoon when the Lancaster flew nearby to our museum. No photo to show as we all ran out to see you and just enjoyed the sound and view. Here are our flags flying over the memorial garden just afterwards.

That’s our display complete for day two of the Battle of Britain Airshow at IWM Duxford, and once again we were able to share the skies with Sally B, the B-17 Flying Fortress. Thank you to the Sally B team for helping us capture this footage over the airshow! ✈️

We know it’s early but as we close on 27 October & have some #Christmas decorations (Green foliage not included) on sale in our #shop. They would be a great #gift or a treat for your Christmas tree! They are fragile so only available onsite when you #visit in person. 🎄🛍️
