For more than twenty years Newark Air Museum (NAM) has hosted an ongoing social history project to record the history of its Avro Vulcan, XM594.

Today marks International Women’s Day and to celebrate, Airfix is proud to highlight some key contributions of women throughout history, as part of an exciting campaign celebrating Women’s History Month, March 2023.

Offering a whole host of special perks from member only experiences to exclusive products, our aim is to provide members with the very best Airfix has to offer.

This annual two-day event provides the perfect opportunity for the public to view a diverse range of visiting aircraft cockpits at the air museum, alongside our own diverse aviation displays.
