Royal Air Force Museum Midlands

Royal Air Force Museum Midlands, Aviation museum in Cosford, Shropshire, England.

The Royal Air Force Museum Midlands is an aviation museum in Shropshire displaying numerous military aircraft housed across several hangars. The collection includes test planes, combat vehicles, and transport machines from different periods.

The museum was founded in 1979 at RAF Cosford and later expanded to accommodate more aircraft and collections. Additional galleries were added to showcase art and aviation history from different eras.

The place displays aircraft and equipment from the Cold War era, showing how this period shaped the world. Visitors can see the machines and technologies that were used during that time.

The museum is easy to reach and offers free entry to all visitors. There is an outdoor playground for children, and everyone can explore the collection at their own pace.

A specialized conservation center here focuses on restoring and maintaining historic aircraft for the museum's collection. This work also supports similar efforts at partner locations in other cities.
