It’s no surprise that the interest and fascination with the wartime period remains as high as ever. In this special tour we step back in time, visiting the remarkable collections at the Imperial War Museum Duxford and discovering the secret world of Britain’s WWII codebreakers at Bletchley Park.

With a series of permanent and temporary exhibitions the museum will take you through the history of some of the World’s most famous aircraft, how air and sea played a role in the First World War, the conservation of the museums artefacts, how fighting on land has changed since the first world war, and much more! At Bletchley Park, view the types of machines used to break codes during the war, find out how Bletchley Park became the home of code breakers and view the collections from the war.

Day 2

Imperial War Museum Duxford

Today we travel to Imperial War Museum Duxford, near Cambridge. Duxford was an important airfield in WWI and played a vital role in WWII. Today, the site is home to Britain’s largest aviation museum, housing the Imperial War Museum’s large exhibits, including nearly 200 aircraft The site accommodates several British Army regimental museums, including those of the Parachute Regiment (named Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment.

Day 3

Uncover the secrets at Bletchley Park and return home.

Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes, was the central site for Britain’s codebreakers during WWII and the birthplace of the modern computer. The Bletchley Park team regularly penetrated the secret communications of the German High Command. A modern visitor centre leads out to various restored ‘huts’, each of which had a specific role in the codebreaking effort, and a museum housing an original ‘Enigma’ machine. As you walk around, listen out for the highly atmospheric soundscapes playing snatches of conversation, music and laughter, as well as the noises of bicycle bells and steam trains to conjure up how the site would have sounded during WWII. You can also visit the new D-Day immersive exhibition explaining Bletchley Park’s secret D-Day role.
