 military museum  Add category

RAF Scampton has had a rich and varied history. Search the Internet and you will find no end of references to the exploits of the airmen who served here. Of course, our most famous squadron is 617 also known as the Dambusters. Post-war Scampton was an extremely important base housing one of the United Kingdoms nuclear deterrents - the Blue Steel Missile. Even today Scampton leads an interesting life as home to the RAF Aerobatic Team - The Red Arrows.

To celebrate the history of Scampton, we have created a station museum, it's housed in one of the original WW2 hangers and contains over 400 artifacts (including a Blue Steel Missile) which will be of interest to all aviation enthusiasts around the world. Entry to the museum is free to the general public. All we ask is that you contact the curator prior to your visit as the museum is not permanently manned and due to current security measures access to the station is not possible without prior arrangement. This website will hopefully give you a flavour of our rich history and tempt you to come and visit.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT THE MUSEUM YOU HAVE TO BRING A VALID IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT AS RAF SCAMPTON IN STILL A WORKING STATION AND VISITS HAVE TO BE ARRANGED BEFORE HAND.

Curator: Mr Mervyn Hallam. Tel 01522 683856/731462 or Roger Crisp Tel 01522 500738
