We can now reveal our theme for the next year – 'Elvington 44/45 The Fight For Liberty'. The covers not just the 80th anniversary of D-Day but much more besides, including the arrival of two French Squadrons at RAF Elvington, just weeks before the Normandy landings. As with our Falklands and Cold War themes in recent years, we are focussing on telling stories through the prism of aircraft in our collections and, in this instance, also through the site itself. There will be new displays, videos and information boards around our Halifax Mk III and Dakota, with the latter having been painted with invasion stripes. Displays will drop into place over the next few weeks and we aim to add more material across the year, in the run up to the anniversary of VE Day in 2025.
