Visitors to the National Museum of Flight this half-term can travel back in time to experience life on the WWII airfield. Families will be transported to the 1940s with new activities, tours and opportunities to learn wartime espionage skills from 16 October-18 October, 2024.
Set on one of the best-preserved WWII airfields in the UK, half-term activities will bring this extraordinary history to life with costumed interpreters and genuine military flying equipment from the period. Visitors can discover real stories from WWII in Scotland with clothing and equipment worn and used by RAF Coastal Command pilots during WWII, as well as tour the newly refurbished blast and air raid shelters.
Families will also be able to learn some of the skills needed by Special Operations Executive reconnaissance organisations, some of whom trained in nearby Belhaven in East Lothian, as part of the Special Operations Executive Skills sessions.
