Attraction Information

Royal Air Force Museum Cosford is considered one of the leading attractions in the Midlands, with over 70 aircraft on display. It is open daily throughout the year, and is free to visit.

The National Cold War Exhibition includes aircraft, military transport, missiles, memorabilia, interactive kiosks and hotspots of information. This unique exhibition reflects the social, cultural and political history of the Cold War era in a fun and innovative way. A major feature of this unique exhibition is Britain's three post war V-Bombers; the Vulcan, Victor and Valiant. Visitors are able to view many aircraft from an elevated viewing gallery.

As well as the 70 aircraft on display at Cosford, including the world's oldest Spitfire, the RAF Museum Cosford is home to a number of smaller unique exhibitions such as the Lucky Mascots exhibition and the RAF Boy Entrants permanent exhibition.

RAF Museum Cosford is one day that everyone from small children upwards will enjoy whatever the weather. Children and adults alike will be fascinated by ‘Fun 'n' Flight' Interactive Gallery that is designed to excite and inform young (and old!) minds. Packed with hands-on excitement, it's the easy way to answer all those questions about how aircraft stay up in the air. The gallery is run by a team of volunteers and is open on weekdays from 10am to 4pm, and weekends 11am to 4pm.
