The sky’s the limit for education
have re-enactors and trained support staff on
hand to make sure that the children get the
most out of the day.
Costumes will be available to enhance
the experience of life in war-time Britain
and some sites have recreated the 1940
classroom complete with sirens and ink pots
to demonstrate what it was like before the
computer age.
To further encourage schools to participate
in this three year project, schools will plan
on visiting one of our sites at least once
a year. We will be offering assistance in
supporting the cost of transport. Twice a
year there will be a competition draw for
participating schools and the two prizes will
be an all-expenses trip to the RAF National
Museum at Cosford. Two lucky schools
from the county are already planning their
trips in March following the most recent
draw in January.
If you want to do a multicentre
visit in one day that
can be arranged and we
recommend the Visitor
Centres at RAF Cranwell,
RAF Digby or Thorpe Camp,
which can cater for packed
school lunches.
