Thank you for visiting and supporting MAVC in 2024.
We are now closed to visitors until Saturday 29th March 2025.
We know it’s early but as we close on 27 October & have some #Christmas decorations (Green foliage not included) on sale in our #shop. They would be a great #gift or a treat for your Christmas tree! They are fragile so only available onsite when you #visit in person. 🎄🛍️

That’s our display complete for day two of the Battle of Britain Airshow at @IWMDuxford, and once again we were able to share the skies with Sally B, the B-17 Flying Fortress.
Thank you to the Sally B team for helping us capture this footage over the airshow! ✈️
Thank you 👍 @RAFBBMF @BBMF_Sugden for a treat late yesterday afternoon when the Lancaster flew nearby to our museum. No photo to show as we all ran out to see you and just enjoyed the sound and view. Here are our flags flying over the memorial garden just afterwards.

At the weekend our Lancaster appeared at the RAF Battle of Britain Reception skimming over the Golden Sunset at Portrush as a fantastic opener for the NI International Air Show 🌅✈️

❤️ Yesterday, we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion.
Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family and friends and reminiscing on their wartime experiences.
Hazel Halter, who worked in the Naval Section during WW2, is now 99 years old and attended the reunion for the first time. She said: "I am so glad I came here to my first reunion. I have had a most enjoyable time. I was so happy during my time working at Bletchley Park, with wonderful friends. It has brought back so many lovely memories."

Coming up this week for your listening pleasure.
Ep 15 ARNHEM: Glider Pilots & Bomber Tugs, with Matt Yates. How do you think all those gliders got to Arnhem? Towed by Halifaxes, Stirlings & Albemarles! Subscribers can listen from midnight tonight, everyone else from Wed 11th.
We might be in the ‘middle of nowhere’ but our museum is certainly worth a visit with welcoming #volunteers & a not-to-be-forgotten story of 106 Squadron and RAF Metheringham. Plus the #Dakota KG651 is a treat @visitlincoln @heartoflincs @RAFBBMF @CranwellMuseum @jonnycrackers82
ALT Image of feather flag with ‘Metheringham Airfield visitor Centre Reception’ written on it. It’s standing outside the reception and shop building, on some green grass and in the background are three flags on tall white flag poles inside the memorial garden. It’s a lovely sunny day.

A Lancaster display against a beautiful sunset - is there a more graceful sight or sound? 🌅🌊✈️
It’s been a fantastic evening at @AyrShowFOF, and we will be back for more tomorrow!

#ColesCrane update - great to see our volunteers’ progress. Also research into the correct original colour scheme has been extensive. In March 1943 it would have been a special type of gingery brown.
Please continue to #support us 🙏bit.ly/44s12c8 it’s much appreciated
