This world-class collection of over 100 aircraft, aviation and wartime memorabilia offers a fun day out for all the family. Don’t forget to visit our awe inspiring sound and light show that takes you back in time to the Battle of Britain. Better yet admission to the museum is free of charge. If you're visiting us using London Underground, please take the Edgware Branch of the Northern Line to Colindale. As you leave the station there is a bus stop directly outside the entrance. From here, the 303 Service will drop you off directly outside our Main Gates. This bus runs every 8 to 12 minutes. The Museum is open daily from 10am to 6pm and this May not only will we be displaying our latest exhibition 'Athletes and Olympians : Sport in the RAF' but we will be unveiling to the public on 22nd our newest art exhibition ' Fresh Air' showcasing the work of former Artist in Residence to the Red Arrows, David Bent. « less
