Welcome to The Crate Escape – Our Journey Begins 🚚✈️ where we take you behind the scenes of an extraordinary mission in motion.

Our team is transferring thousands of historic RAF objects 📦🛩️ from our MOD Stafford collection into a new home at our Midlands site 🏗️, which will open to the public in summer 2027 ☀️📅.

This complex logistical operation demands precision, coordination, and care 🎯🤝🔧. From meticulous object inspections to conservation treatments 🧽🛠️, each item is prepared for its journey with expert attention.

Our ground and logistics crews 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ ensure every object is protected, boxed 📦—or wrapped if oversized—and ready for transit 🚛.

You can be part of this remarkable move: sponsor a box today and help preserve these powerful RAF stories 📜✈️ for generations to come.
