RAF Museum Cosford Public Events Manager, Abi Betteridge said:
“We will be celebrating the centenary of the Royal Air Force throughout 2018 with a number of events tailored towards commemorating this milestone.  Across both our London and Cosford sites we will be opening up the doors to 100 Cockpits and Cabs so visitors can get up close and inside more of our collection than ever before, with the first of four dates at Cosford in February.
 
Over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend on 1-2 April, we will be marking the official formation of the Royal Air Force with a 100 Years Festival, packed with re-enactors, displays and activities for families.  There will also be a new permanent display celebrating the RAF through the decades with artefacts from within our collection interpreting the RAF story.
 
One of our most popular events, the Spitfire 10K will be returning in September, where up to 1,200 runners this year can race across the airfield.  In addition, we’ve set a new centenary challenge to run 100K in 100 days in a virtual race and we’re busy working on a suitably spectacular medal for those who rise to the task.  All proceeds from these races will go towards the RAF100 Appeal, a joint venture between the Royal Air Force and four major RAF charities.
 
These new events are in addition to activities running throughout each of the school holidays as well as our major summer event, the Cosford Food Festival.  Plus the Outdoor Cinema Screening will be returning for two nights in September and of course, the chance to see behind the scenes in our Conservation Centre during the Open Week in November.”
