Celebrate and commemorate 100 years since the formation of the Royal Air Force at this special event.
On Sunday 1 April the Royal Air Force will turn 100! The RAF Museum will be sharing and celebrating RAF stories throughout the year, but you can join them to commemorate this very special birthday with theatre, family activities and a special appearance from the RAF Baton Relay team.
The NEW restaurant, Claude’s, will be serving traditional Sunday Fayre so you can enjoy a fantastic day out and a delicious meal with the whole family. There might even be a birthday cake, after all it’s not every day the Royal Air Force turns 100.
