MUSEUM 40TH ANNIVERSARY
Join us for a day of celebration to mark Yorkshire Air Museum’s 40th birthday, with a flying display by three classic aircraft, including one that flew over the Museum on its first day open to the public in 1985.
The Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial was incorporated as a charitable Trust in 1985 and on August 11th of that year held its first open day.
On Monday August 11th 2025, the Museum will be holding a special day to mark this anniversary. The highlight will be a flying display by three vintage aircraft: a Blackburn B2 biplane, a Miles Messenger and a Bucker Jungmann. Each aircraft will put on a display of around seven minutes. The B2 took part in a display as part of the Museum’s inaugural event 40 years ago.
There will also be vintage cars from the 1980s and a new display telling the story of the Museum.
It’s a normal admissions day – no special tickets are required - but to mark the occasion, anyone born in 1985 will be allowed in at the 1985 ticket price of £1. More details of the flying display to follow.
