D-Day Duxford Airshow

D-Day Duxford Airshow

The story of D-Day in the air, on the ground and all around.

Discover IWM Duxford’s D-Day story in this 80th anniversary year and commemorate through a live-action flying display, living history groups, our museum and static collections the stories of the people who lived and fought during the Second World War - and the significance of the events of 6th June 1944.

From the early days of flight, through to the dramatic days of the Second World War and the technological advances of the Cold War, IWM Duxford has played a central role in some of the most significant periods of 20th century history.

Inside every hangar and exhibition, you’ll discover iconic aircraft, see historic objects from our collections and uncover hundreds of personal stories of the many lives impacted by conflict.
