Young aviation fans were treated to a special flying day at IWM Duxford during the school summer holidays.

Designed for children and their families, Duxford's Flying Days: Young Aviators took place at the Cambridgeshire airfield on Thursday, August 19.

Families visiting the historic airfield and IWM site were able to see an iconic Supermarine Spitfire in flight, while on the ground the NHS Spitfire was on static display for those wishing to read the names of our country's NHS heroes written across the aircraft.

The Tiger Club’s Turbulent Display Team also showcased the art of barnstorming in a flamboyant low-level flying display in their French made Rollason D31 aircraft.

Visitors to Europe's largest air museum can experience IWM Duxford after hours at a flying evening later this month.

There will be an evening of spectacular aerial display on Saturday, August 28 as the sun goes down over the historic airfield.

From camera-ready flypast moments to enjoying refreshments on a balmy summer’s evening, you will see Duxford in a whole new light at this one-off special evening flying event.

You can also enjoy Flying Days: The Fighters at Duxford on Saturday, September 4 and then

Tickets cost £28.50, £22.50 concessions, and £14.25 children.
