See warbirds, vintage aircraft and the famous Spitfire finale bring historic IWM Duxford to life at the 2026 Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show. See Second World War fighters scramble from historic IWM Duxford just like they did in the summer of 1940. Showcasing incredible aircraft and feats of engineering, awe inspiring flying formations and unique aircraft, Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show is a spectacle not to be missed. Our 2025 event welcomed some of the only airworthy examples of historic aircraft, such as the B-17 and the Avro Anson, warbirds from around the world, and the famous Duxford ‘Big Wing’ formation. Expect to see more memorable flying moments in 2026. Whether you're a warbird and history enthusiast or looking to spark curiosity in young minds through immersive living history experiences, there's something for everyone over the weekend. It’s summer 1940 on the ground too, with live music, a traditional steam fair, and living history groups evoking the spirit of the era. We’ve even got a vintage hairdresser to help you perfect that 1940s look. And that’s on top of the museum exhibitions and hangars, full of aircraft from the Second World War through to today. All included in your ticket. Rain or shine, the weather needn’t dampen anybody’s spirits. Where else could you witness historic aircraft take to the skies, whilst immersed in the sights and sounds of the 1940s across a Second World War airfield?
