Celebrate the National Museum of Flight’s 50th birthday with us. 

On Monday 7 July 1975, the National Museum of Flight opened its doors to the public. On display were many of the aircraft that remain popular with visitors today, including the Supermarine Spitfire, Gloster Meteor and Hawker Sea Hawk. 

To celebrate the museum’s 50th birthday, we’re offering free entry for the whole weekend. Explore our incredible collections and learn about our historic airfield. 

Full event details will be announced soon.
