Are there tanks at Duxford?

Yes, IWM Duxford houses military vehicles, artillery and small naval vessels in addition to its aircraft collection. The Duxford Aviation Society operates the British Military Vehicles Collection where you can get up close and personal with battlefield vehicles like the Centurion tank.

The Land Warfare exhibit features an incredible collection of vehicles and guns from the First World War to the Cold War era, though this exhibition permanently closed on June 1st, according to visitor reports. The site accommodates several British Army regimental museums, including those of the Parachute Regiment (named Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment. The museum tells the story of aviation combat and its ever-changing face over the last 100 years, including tanks, half-tracks and military hardware alongside the aircraft. While the focus is primarily on aviation, the military vehicle collection provides important context for understanding the broader scope of 20th-century warfare and the role of combined arms in military operations.
