In addition to the aircraft we have over 1000 objects on display that tell the stories of the men and women who flew these fighters during the Second World War as well as the stories of the many civilians who were directly affected by the conflict.
… and in Ramsgate
Ramsgate Tunnels a mix of two tunnels. A Victorian railway tunnel built in 1863 by the Kent Coast Railway to serve Ramsgate Harbour Station, and a 1939 wartime Air Raid Precaution shelter roughly 3 miles long capable of holding up to 65,000 people.
Opened in 1939, The ARP Tunnel saved the lives of countless people who sheltered from the bombing and shelling of the town during World War 2.
