LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO THIS WEEKEND?
It's not too late to have a fantastic weekend at Duxford Summer Air Show this Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets will close at: 
 
•    Midnight Friday 23 July for entry on Saturday 24 July 
•    Midnight Saturday 24 July for entry on Sunday 25 July

 
Tickets are still advance only. Please check availability and book before you plan your day. Book your tickets here.

We are also delighted to announce some changes we are able to make to the Duxford Summer Air Show, in light of the latest government guidance.
 
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
We can now open all hangars and museum exhibition spaces, giving you even more to explore and enjoy on the ground!
 
The Blue, Green and Red Zones will still remain for parking, entering and exiting the site.

But visitors will have unrestricted access to the showground once inside for the duration of their day. Find more information on ground activity and entertainment here.
WHAT NEW AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED?
P-47D THUNDERBOLT
Expect power and tenacity from the ‘Jug’. The P-47D Thunderbolt was one of the largest single engine fighters of the Second World War.
TF-51D MUSTANG
‘Contrary Mary’ is painted in the same black and white chequer markings as the USAAF Mustangs here at RAF Duxford in 1944.
FM2 WILDCAT
The tiny Wildcat flew for all active U.S Navy fighter squadrons in the Pacific War and also the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War.
FIVE (YES, FIVE) SPITFIRES
Including one from the film, Dunkirk (2017), one from the actual Dunkirk campaign, and the NHS Spitfire!
Don't forget to book your Duxford Summer Air Show Programme in advance! It has the full flying list, plus a range of articles created especially for the event. 

All retail and merchandise sales will close online at See Tickets, at 10am on Friday 23 July. You can pre-pay for your programme and pick it up on the day from any of our IWM Shop stands.

Too far away to join us?

Duxford Summer Air Show is one of the only in-person air shows this year in the UK. The best way to experience it is in person. But we know our fans can’t all be with us this weekend.

Watch all the action live with Planes TV, or subscribe to watch it on demand later.
