Royal Air Force Museum Midlands @ Cosford

Lysander Ave, Cosford, Shifnal TF11 8UP

Date of visit: 10th October 2012

In 2018 the Museum underwent a major transformation, including redesignation of some hangars, to celebrate the RAF Centenary.

Some aircraft relocated to a different hangar, as noted, others were switched with the Royal Air Force Museum London at Hendon. 

Current aircraft shown only (06/12/2023). A separate page shows exhibits no longer on site.
