The Royal Air Force has shaped our nation and our society. It has influenced how we live our lives today through its impact on world events, society and technology. The Royal Air Force Museum was established in 1968 as a legacy of the RAF’s fiftieth anniversary, opening at our London (Hendon) site in 1972. Our Midlands site began as the Aerospace Museum at RAF Cosford in the spring of 1974 and joined the family in 1979. The Museum is a National Museum and an educational charity, welcoming almost 1 million visitors a year. Our collection is central to everything we are and do, comprising around 1.3 million objects that we hold in trust for the people of the UK. Our new £28M redevelopment of the Midlands site, due to open in 2027, features a new hangar that tells the contemporary story of the RAF and its people, a narrative in which members of the RAF Intelligence Profession play a central role.
