New exhibtion at Duxford

Imperial War Museum Duxford commemorates this unique moment in history with a new exhibition showcasing an original piece of fabric taken from the Flyer, the aircraft in which the Wright Brothers made their inaugural flight. Sitting in the upstairs foyer entrance to AirSpace, Duxford's remarkable exhibition of British and Commonwealth aviation, this new exhibition will present a stunning start to the Duxford journey of discovery.

This fascinating new exhibition also features a scale model of the Flyer together with a tactile model and a replica piece of similar fabric, so that visitors, particularly those who are blind or partially sighted, can get a hands-on understanding of the shape and structure of the aeroplane.

Complementing and enhancing the tactile element of the display, a new section is being added to AirSpace's innovative audio guide for blind and partially sighted visitors.
