A multimillion pound transformation of the RAF Museum’s London home will welcome visitors to discover a new green heart of the community in Colindale, reflecting the historic RAF Hendon airfield.
New, innovative galleries will explore the first 100 years of the RAF, its roles today and invite visitors to imagine its future contribution and technology.
A new digital sharing project will promote a conversation with a global audience and help connect people to the RAF story.

The Royal Air Force Museum is also offering members of the public the opportunity to have their name written on the wings of an RAF Red Arrows Hawk Jet that will fly throughout the Red Arrows’ 2017 display season. The ‘Names on a Plane’ campaign will raise funds for the Museum’s RAF Centenary Programme.
For one spectacular season of air shows and celebrations, the underside of one of the Red Arrows Hawk Jets will display names chosen by members of the public who have contributed to this unique campaign.
The RAF Museum is the partner charity for this year’s Farnborough International Airshow and is providing more information about ther Museum's future plans and the ‘Names on a Plane’ public fundraising campaign, on its stand in Hall 2.
