The development programme is expected to be completed by 2027

Plans for a significant redevelopment of the RAF Museum Midlands in Cosford, Shropshire, have been approved.

The project, by LDA Design, forms part of a broader development programme, aiming to create a more immersive visitor experience and engage with new audiences.

The redevelopment includes the construction of a new ‘Collections Hub,’ which will, for the first time, allow the museum to display items from its stored collection. In addition, Hangar 1, a historic building dating back to 1938, will be refurbished to house a new Learning Centre and exhibition space. This space will focus on the RAF’s role over the past 40 years and will be linked to a newly designed landscape intended to support outdoor learning and events.
