RAF Twinwood Farm, Military aviation museum and former RAF base in Bedford, England
The Twinwood Aviation Museum operates from the original Flight Office building, displaying aircraft artifacts and military equipment from World War II.
Established in 1941, RAF Twinwood Farm served as a night fighter training station during World War II and later transferred to the United States Eighth Air Force.
The museum maintains records and exhibits about Glenn Miller, who commanded the Army Air Forces Band and departed from this airfield on his final flight in 1944.
The museum opens on Saturdays by appointment and maintains regular hours on Sundays and bank holidays, with free admission for visitors under 16 years old.
Museum volunteers conduct research using metal detectors to locate and excavate World War II aircraft crash sites, documenting findings through military records.
