Are you visiting with budding young pilots in tow? Book one of our family tours, created especially to inspire the minds of our younger visitors. Hear the stories behind our exhibits as our guides share tales of aerial adventures and daring escapades.
What significance did a stuffed penguin have for one airman? How did a pilot save his plane while the wing was on fire? And just what were the grim effects of using castor oil in aircraft engines?
Finally, you will have the exciting opportunity to step on board our VC10. There you can take a seat in the cockpit and experience the thrill of being the captain of a large aircraft.
Tickets are £12.50 per child and £10.00 per adult - under-6s go free!
Suitable for groups up to 10, email midlands@rafmuseum.org for more information or to make a booking.
