Duxford Airfield Museum
 

We will have a few days in London. Has anyone been to the Duxford Airfield in Cambridge? Is it an easy trip from London?<BR>Train? Bus?<BR>Is it worth seeing?

Hi<BR><BR>I visited this museum a few years ago.<BR>I arrived by car and can't give you much help on public transport. As it is less than 10 miles from Cambridge, I guess you could get a taxi from there.<BR><BR>The highlights were a TSR2, and a development concord (e).<BR><BR>Don't forget the RAF museum in Hendon while you are in London.<BR><BR>Peter<BR><BR><BR>

Look at their website - they run a shuttle from the train station in Cambridge on a regular basis throughout the day. Yes, it's easy trip from London - take train from Kings Cross to Cambridge, catch shuttle. Can't get much more simple.<BR>Only you can decide if it is worth visiting, do you like planes??? War history?

Thanks, Lori. Good advice. I am into scale models and flying. Love history.<BR>I'll see if I have time to do the trip. I think we shorted ourselves on time in London. We are driving Ireland and doing a bus tour of UK. Then only three days in London and two in Paris. <BR>Thanks again.<BR>Dave S.

I've been to both Duxford and the RAF Museum in London.They are both great. If I could only go to one, I'd go to the RAF..it's more compact; you get close to a Spit and a Hurricane. They have a good theatre where they show a lot of combat film...the real last mission of the Memphis Belle, for instance, as contrasted with the Hollywood version. But Duxford was fine,too. There they have a glass wall with a tiny insigna of each allied plane lost in combat...a sort of VietNam Memorial approach.Unfortunately I don't remember much about getting to Duxford because we were with English friends who drove us there. The RAF is on a tube line. Bill

Thanks Bill. I'll try RAF.
