Situated at the former RAF Tangmere‚ one of the most important fighter stations in Britain, bombed by the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain in August 1940, this award-winning museum traces British military aviation from WWI to the Cold War. Highlights include a Spitfire and Hurricane, Battle of Britain artefacts, interactive cockpits and simulators, and the blood-stained uniform of the first VC winner of the Battle of Britain.
