The Airborne Forces Museum exists to promote the heritage of The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces; to educate and inspire those serving; to commemorate the actions of past and present members; and to inform and interest the public.

In 2008, the Museum moved from its original site at Browning Barracks, Aldershot .

The new Airborne Forces Museum, rebranded as Airborne Assault, is located at Duxford in partnership with Imperial War Museum.

IWM Duxford is 5 miles south of Cambridge. For directions please click here.

Admission concessions

Once Airborne Assault is open, admission at IWM Duxford will give Airborne Forces visitors access to the entire IWM complex , as well as our own museum. With attractions including the superb aviation collections in AirSpace, vintage planes flying above the operational airfield, the American Air Museum and the Land Warfare Hall and Normandy exhibitions, this is easily a very full day's outing.

An advantageous entry concession has been negotiated with our IWM partners on behalf of Airborne Forces visitors.This deal applies to all days other than Air Show and Event days.

By prior notification to the Airborne Assault Duxford curator, visiting groups of 10 or more Parachute Regimental Association members, serving soldiers or cadets will be admitted FREE OF CHARGE to IWM Duxford. Groups are encouraged, where possible, to visit in uniform, or blazers and berets.

This applies to both Full and Associate members of The Parachute Regimental Association (PRA). Members of airborne units in the wider Airborne Forces brotherhood can join the PRA as lifetime Associate Members for a single one-off payment of £7.50. Application for membership should be made to the PRA Secretary at RHQ.

Serving soldiers or Regimental Association members visiting in an individual capacity will be offered a 2 for 1 deal on presentation of their MoD ID card or Regimental Association Card at the main entrance to the IWM Duxford.

If you wish to visit with children or grandchildren, those under 16 are admitted free to IWM.
