IWM Duxford
IWM Duxford is the Imperial War Museums' museum on Duxford Airfield in South Cambridgeshire, south of Cambridge, with historic aircraft and exhibitions in its hangars.
Why go
IWM Duxford is run by Imperial War Museums on Duxford Airfield; this record is the museum, not the aerodrome item or the American Air Museum building within it. Visit Cambridge's listing describes hangars and exhibitions with aircraft and objects from IWM's collections, and gives the address as IWM Duxford Airfield, Cambridge, CB22 4QR. That postal address is not containment: the site lies in Duxford parish in South Cambridgeshire, outside the city, so Cambridge is a travel base only. Visit Cambridge's listing gives IWM's own page, iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford, as the contact; XTOUR records no entry or booking rule for the museum.
