The whole mission was a catalogue of disasters
The RAF Museum's Michael Beetham Conservation Centre is responsible for aircraft and artefacts in the Museum and those on loan. A world centre of excellence, its primary function includes conservation, restoration and the movement or suspension of aircraft or large exhibits. The MBCC opens its doors for one week each year. We asked visitors to share their RAF Stories.
