Due to extreme weather conditions IWM Duxford will be closed today.
The IWM History Festival will continue inside AirSpace as planned, but to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff, no external access across IWM Duxford will be possible for History Festival ticket holders.
We are deeply saddened to hear the news regarding the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Our thoughts are with the pilot’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
The aircraft was a privately-owned General Aviation Cirrus SR22, based at Duxford. There were no other passengers. Police have now passed the investigation over to the Air Accident Investigation Branch, who remain on site at Duxford. <4/5>
IWM Duxford will be closed to the public on Wednesday and Thursday. We expect to reopen on Friday. We have no further information to share at this time. <5/5>
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. Cambridgeshire Police have informed next of kin, who attended the scene of the accident yesterday. <3/5>
IWM Duxford will remain closed to visitors on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 March. We are expecting to reopen to the public on Friday 29 March.
We ask that out of respect for all parties that any speculation be avoided at this time.
Congratulations Dom a real pleasure to work with you back in the #NILO and #specialops days. Well done @LondonFire also for showing how it should be celebrated
