Duxford has been part of the Imperial War Museum since the 1970s, but its history dates back to the closing stages of the First World War.
It achieved everlasting fame as the first RAF station to operate the Spitfire, for its role in the Battle of Britain and as an USAAF fighter base. Continually updated and improved during its time as an operational station, Historic Duxford contains some of the best-preserved RAF buildings in the country. Over 30 of these are listed as buildings of special architectural and historic interest, and as a group they form the finest example of a pre-1945 fighter station.
