DUXFORD IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM (PART1) LARGEST AVIATION MUSEUM IN BRITAN.
Imperial War Museum Duxford (commonly referred to simply as Duxford) is a branch of the Imperial War Museum near the village of Duxford in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Britain's largest aviation museum, Duxford houses the museum's large exhibits, including nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibitions buildings. The site also provides storage space for the museum's other collections of material such as film, photographs, documents, books and artefacts. The site accommodates a number of British Army regimental museums, including those of the Parachute Regiment (named Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment.
Based on the historic Duxford Aerodrome, the site was originally operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War. During the Second World War Duxford played a prominent role during the Battle of Britain and was later used by United States Army Air Forces fighter units in support of the daylight bombing of Germany. Duxford remained an active RAF airfield until 1961. After the Ministry of Defence declared the site surplus to requirements in 1969 the Imperial War Museum received permission to use part of the site for storage. The entirety of the site was transferred to the museum in February 1976.
In keeping with the site's history many of Duxford's original buildings, such as hangars used during the Battle of Britain, are still in use. Many of these buildings are of particular architectural or historic significance and over thirty have listed building status, Duxford retain[ing] the best-preserved technical fabric remaining from [a historic airfield] up to November 1918 and being remarkably well-preserved. The site also features a number of purpose-built exhibition buildings, such as the Stirling Prize-winning American Air Museum, designed by Sir Norman Foster. The site remains an active airfield and is used by a number of civilian flying companies, and hosts regular air shows. The site is operated in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council and the Duxford Aviation Society, a charity formed in 1975 to preserve civil aircraft and promote appreciation of British civil aviation history.
ANGLIA NEWS REPORT -Memorial is opened at Duxford to Commemorate Fallen Royal Anglian Soldiers 2010
A memorial to commemorate the sacrifice of soldiers from the East Anglian Regiments and The Royal Anglian Regiment has been unveiled at the , Duxford.
It honours 78 soldiers from The Royal Anglian Regiment who have lost their lives since 1959.
The names of the fallen are carved on the memorial's Roll of Honour.
And 375 members of all 78 families travelled from as far afield as the United States, Australia and Fiji to attend the ceremony.
Also in attendance was the regiment's Colonel-in-Chief, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, who laid a wreath.
A wreath was also laid on behalf of the bereaved families by Margaret Yallop, whose brother Corporal Michael Boddy was killed in West Belfast in 1972.
Mrs Yallop said: I was very proud to lay the wreath on behalf of all the families. It has been a very emotional day and I am proud to be here. I felt that he was there with us.
The Colonel of the Regiment, General Sir John McColl, said: Since the formation of the East Anglian Regiments in 1958 and The Royal Anglian Regiment in 1964, those that we have lost have been remembered in different ways and in different places.
But we have not, until today, had a single location that reflects the history of duty, and sacrifice, of our regiment. Today we have put that right.
The stories of the campaigns in which they died are told in The Royal Anglian Regiment Museum at Duxford, located a short walk from the memorial.
Designed by architect Stephen Oliver of Rodney Melville and Partners, and featuring a bronze centrepiece statue by sculpture Ian Rank-Broadley, the memorial materials were sourced from within the regimental area.
The contractor and stonemason was Fairhaven & Woods Ltd of Bottisham, Cambridgeshire.
The idea for a memorial came about in 2007.
The 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, whilst fighting in Afghanistan, launched an appeal to raise money to support its wounded and their families and to build a memorial to the nine soldiers from the Battalion who were killed in action during that tour.
Subsequently, it was decided that the Memorial should commemorate the sacrifice of all soldiers from the regiment, and three battalions of the regiment each raised considerable sums, along with public donations.

BBC Look East report- 1 Royal Anglian Parade through Bury St Edmunds
Thousands of people lined the streets of Bury St Edmunds today, Friday 23 November 2007, to welcome home the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment from their intense six month deployment to Helmand Province.
Having been widely praised for taking the fight to the enemy, the Battalion, known as the Vikings, lost nine members in Helmand with another 57 wounded, a sacrifice recognised today by the people of Bury St Edmunds.
Crowds lined the streets, up to ten deep in places, with the Minden band playing and bunting and balloons everywhere as the Battalion paraded to applause and cheers of 'well done boys.
Soldiers and officers past and present also turned out for the event, responding to a rare Regimental Call to Arms put out by the Regimental HQ asking anyone who serves or who has served in the Regiment to stand in the street and welcome our soldiers home. Many have travelled hundreds of miles, with some even coming from overseas to be here.
A service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance for those of The Royal Anglian Regiment that lost their lives in Helmand was held at Norwich Cathedral , 22 November 2007
Royal Anglian Lieutenant Colonel Seymour Blyth, currently posted to MOD in London was one of those officers who had no doubt he had to attend the event in Bury today:
It's been just and outstanding day, he said. The turnout is just staggering, with crowds everywhere. The East Anglians really do appreciate their Regiment, it's absolutely magnificent.
It was very poignant when the band played the Last Post for the nine who died in Helmand and with the colours flying it was very moving to see so many people who really care for their Regiment.
Past Generals and Colonels of the Regiment also welcomed the 500 strong Battalion back home in Bury today, as well as the Lord Lieutenant who was representing the Queen, the Mayor of the town and the Colonel of the Regiment, General John McColl who is NATO's Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
Today's Parade follows a homecoming event in Norwich yesterday which saw the Battalion exercise their freedom of the city, marching from the City Hall to Norwich Cathedral where a Thanksgiving and Remembrance service was held for those that didn't come home from Helmand.
The Battalion arrived in Norwich after travelling on the 'Royal Anglian Regiment' train from London's Liverpool Street. National Express named the train in recognition of the Regiment and Lance Corporal Simon Mercer unveiled the name plate on behalf of the Regiment at Liverpool Street station.
With bayonets fixed, flags flying and drums beating the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment brought Norwich to a standstill as they paraded through its streets yesterday, 22 November 2007
The Lord Mayor of Norwich, accompanied by His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester inspected the troops before they marched through the city's streets where they were greeted by thousands of people. With bayonets fixed, flags flying and drums beating the Battalion brought Norwich to a standstill.
The Viking's deployment to Helmand has been described as supremely successful. They pushed the enemy from afghan heartlands, allowing much needed reconstruction and development to take place in the town of Sangin, including irrigation work, repairing electricity transformers, clearing bomb damage, constructing wells and the opening of schools and medical clinics.
Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Carver said:
We thank our families, friends and the wider public for their support during what has been a testing tour. To put it into context, each soldier and officer was probably involved in around 40 significant engagements with the enemy.

It was handed in to the Ops Room in which Ray was working, killing his colleague 2nd Lt Dobbie and leaving him severely injured. He was approached by the charity St Dunstans (now Blind Veterans UK) which he later became President of.
Representatives of the Museum went to interview Ray in May 2015, and he kindly shared with us his remarkable story.

Museum history:
The Imperial War Museum originated during the First World War in 1917 as the National War Museum committee, formed by the British government to record the war effort and sacrifice of Britain and her Empire. The museum opened in 1920, by which point it had been renamed the Imperial War Museum. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the museum's terms of reference were enlarged to include the conflict. The museum's terms of reference was broadened again in 1953 to include all modern conflicts in which British or Commonwealth forces were engaged. The effect of these expansions of remit was to cause the museum's collections to expand enormously, to the point that many parts of the collection, especially those of aircraft, vehicles and artillery, could not be effectively stored or exhibited. Although the museum's south London home (a nineteenth-century building in Southwark which was previously the Bethlem Royal Hospital) had been extended in 1966, by the end of the decade the museum was seeking additional space.
RAF Duxford, a Royal Air Force fighter station had been declared surplus to requirements by the Ministry of Defence in 1969, and the museum duly requested permission to use part of one of the airfield's hangars as temporary storage. Duxford featured three double bay hangars of First World War vintage, which together provided over 9000 m2 of space. Within two years, ten of the museum's aircraft had been brought to Duxford, and were being restored by volunteers of the East Anglia Aviation Society. While the museum's own aircraft were not restored to flying condition, by cooperating with private groups the museum was able to mount its first airshow in 1973. Further air shows followed, with a display in June 1976 attracting an audience of 45,000 people. The runway was bought by Cambridgeshire County Council in 1977. The success of these shows provided a valuable source of revenue, and complemented the efforts of volunteers, so that the museum applied for the permanent transfer of the entire site to its use. Permission was received in February 1976 and Duxford became the first outstation of the Imperial War Museum. Initially open from March–October, Duxford received 167,000 visitors in the 1977 season, and 340,000 in 1978. Two million visitors had been received by 1982 and Duxford welcomed its ten millionth visitor in August 2005.
