All tickets have now been sold for The Battle of Britain Anniversary Air Show to be held at Imperial War Museum, Duxford on Saturday and Sunday.

Museum representatives have advised that anyone without a ticket should not attempt to travel to the air show as it will be not be possible to gain entry.

Visitors who have purchased their tickets already should allow plenty of time for travelling and follow the AA signs for the air show rather than relying on sat nav.

Those who have tickets for the air show and are travelling by car should display the car parking passes in their window to help ensure speedy parking and access to IWM Duxford.

A spokeswoman for the museum said: “Those who may be disappointed by this news can still experience the build-up to The Battle of Britain Anniversary Air Show by visiting throughout this week as final preparations are made across the museum and aircraft practice their flying displays above the historic airfield.”

It was at RAF Duxford that the first spitfires came into service, with the pilots of No.19 Squadron.
