RAF Millom Museum, Military museum in Millom, England
The museum collection presented artifacts, photographs, and equipment from the Royal Air Force bombing and gunnery school that operated in Cumbria during World War II.
The facility started in 1941 as No.2 bombing and gunnery school, later becoming No. 2 Air Observer School before transforming into a museum in 1992.
Local volunteers and former service members gathered military items, personal memorabilia, and historical documents to preserve the Royal Air Force heritage in Cumbria.
The museum closed permanently in September 2010 after negotiations for a new lease agreement failed, with exhibits returned to their original owners.
Time Team archaeological program excavated crash sites of two Douglas A-26 Invader aircraft near Warton, Lancashire, connected to operations from this base.
