Every Day is Different

Classic Air Force isn't a dry, boring museum full of stuffed animals and glass cases. It's a living tapestry where aircraft come and go, where any day you might see a thirties biplane droning skyward with its cargo of pleasure fliers, or hear the whistle of early jets as a Meteor knife-edges above the runway. Because most of our fleet is maintained in flying condition the collection changes almost daily. There are regular vintage traffic departures and arrivals as our classics head out to or return from flying exhibitions.

Of course there's always plenty to see, with climb-aboard treasures like the Nimrod and Shackleton, but if you're hoping to see a particular one of your favourites it's worth looking it up on the aircraft page to check its whereabouts.

Admission is now Free!

Here's some really good news for you: Until further notice, admission to our Coventry Airbase is now absolutely free, except on special event days, when we're commitred to keeping our admission prices low and affordable. We think it's the best way of opening up our collection for the largest number of people to see and enjoy. Of course,  we're always grateful for a donation, but that's entirely up to you. If you've enjoyed your visit, then we hope you'll contribute towards keeping this important collection flying for future generations to enjoy.
