  • Ops Block Battle of Britain: Ops Block
    Large print guide BATTLE OF BRITAIN Ops Block Battle of Britain: Ops Block This Operations Block (Ops Block) was the most important building on the airfield during the Battle of Britain in 1940. From here, Duxford’s fighter squadrons were directed into battle against the Luftwaffe. Inside, you will meet the people who worked in these rooms and helped to win the battle. Begin your visit in the cinema. Step into the cinema to watch a short film about the Battle of Britain. Duration: approximately 4 minutes DUXFORD ROOM Duxford’s Role The Battle of Britain was the first time that the Second World War was experienced by the British population. During the battle, Duxford supported the defence of London. Several squadrons flew out of this airfield. They were part of Fighter Command, which was responsible for defending Britain from the air. To coordinate defence, the Royal Air Force (RAF) divided Britain into geographical ‘groups’, subdivided into ‘sectors.’ Each sector had an airfield known as a ‘sector station’ with an Operations Room (Ops Room) that controlled its aircraft. Information about the location and number of enemy aircraft was communicated directly to each Ops Room. This innovative system became known as the Dowding System, named after its creator, Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, the head of Fighter Command. The Dowding System’s success was vital to winning the Battle of Britain. Fighter Command Group Layout August 1940 Duxford was located within ‘G’ sector, which was part of 12 Group. This group was primarily responsible for defending the industrial Midlands and the north of England, but also assisted with the defence of the southeast as required.

    Large print guide BATTLE OF BRITAIN Hangar 4 The Battle of Britain was one of the major turning points of the Second World War. From the airfield of Duxford to the skies over southern England, follow the course of the battle and discover the stories of the people who were there. Scramble Paul Day 2005 Scramble is a bronze maquette model for part of the Battle of Britain Monument in central London. The monument features many scenes relating to military and civilian life during the Battle of Britain. The centre piece, Scramble, shows pilots running toward their aircraft after receiving orders to intercept an incoming air attack. ZONE 1 Defeat in France May – June 1940 Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, two days after the country invaded Poland. Several months later, on 10 May 1940, Germany attacked Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands and France in a rapid ‘Blitzkrieg’ offensive. During a brief, but costly campaign, Britain deployed multiple Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons to France. The aircraft were sent to support the British Expeditionary Force fighting on the ground and to counter Germany’s powerful air force, the Luftwaffe. Within 6 weeks, France had fallen. The remaining British, French and other Allied troops retreated to the coast, where over half a million were evacuated. The majority departed from the port of Dunkirk. On 22 June, France surrendered to Germany. Britain had lost its main ally and now found itself open to invasion. · 3 September 1939: Britain and France declare war on Germany · 10 May

  • The 80Th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain
    Supplement to The Aero Historian September 2020 The 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain There were more Hawker Hurricanes than Supermarine Spitfires in the Battle of Britain. Hurricane Mk I, P2923, VY-R, flown by Pilot Officer Albert G Lewis of No 85 Squadron, landing at Castle Camps, Debden's satellite airfield, July 1940 (Imperial War Museum). Compiled by Brian Lockstone © AHSNZ | SEPTEMBER 2020 “The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the world war by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”1 Rt Hon W S Churchill MP, House of Commons, 20 August 1940 Today the Battle of Britain is no longer officially commemorated in New Zealand on 15 September. Fought between 10 July and 31 October 1940, it remains one of the most defining and significant events of the Second World War, saving Britain from the risk of invasion and providing a springboard to launch on occupied Europe the assault which brought the war to a bitter end in May 1945. At the time of writing there was but one surviving aircrew member left. Research by one of New Zealand’s best aviation historians affirms that of the 3000 pilots and air gunners who served during the battle, 135 were New Zealanders.

  • IWM Duxford Flexible Word Document
    IWM DUXFORD FACT SHEET IWM Duxford is Britain’s best-preserved Second World War airfield, with a fascinating history that dates back to the First World War. Duxford has been a witness to world-changing events over the past 100 years where ordinary people have had extraordinary experiences. Exploring state of the art exhibition halls and historic buildings, visitors walk in the footsteps of the men and women who served at RAF Duxford. Through the powerful stories of the men and women involved and the rich displays of aircraft we tell the story of the impact of aviation on the nature of war and on people’s lives. Brief history Work began to build Duxford during the First World War, in October 1917, under the auspices of the Royal Flying Corps. In April 1918, Duxford became No. 35 Training Depot Station and was used to train new pilots. Members of the US Air Service were also stationed here to train as engineers. Flying ceased in 1919 after the First World War ended but started again in 1920 with the opening of No.2 Flying Training School. In 1924, Duxford became one of the earliest operational Royal Air Force fighter stations. On 6 July 1935, to celebrate King George V’s Jubilee Review of the Royal Air Force, Duxford hosted the Royal party for lunch at the Officers’ Mess. By the end of 1938, No 19 and No 66 Squadrons, based at RAF Duxford, became the first RAF squadrons to be equipped with the new Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft. Duxford played a vital role in the Battle of Britain, one of the most significant aerial battles of the Second World War.
