Although our doors may be temporarily closed, we will continue to share more of our unique world-class collection and incredible stories of the RAF online via the RAF Museum at Home. Over the next few weeks, we will share the best from our collection in a series of themed weeks. This week, 20 – 26 April 2020, we turn our attention to the early days of aviation and its pioneers:
- Monday 20 April, at 5.00pm, Facebook Post – Guess the Aircraft
- Monday 20 April, 6.00pm, Tweet about our Conservation Team rebuilding the Sopwith Dolphin
Next in our new video series is behind the scenes footage of the Sopwith Dolphin 5FI aircraft build.
