Duxford houses the museum’s large exhibits, including nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibition buildings. The site remains an active airfield and is used by civilian flying companies, and hosts regular air shows.

Since 1973, Duxford has held regular air shows. Duxford is the home of several private aviation companies, such as Classic Wings, The Fighter Collection, the Old Flying Machine Company and The Aircraft Restoration Company. Between them these companies provide pleasure flights, historic aircraft for film or television work, and aircraft restoration services. Perhaps the most notable privately owned and operated aircraft based at Duxford is B-17 Preservation Ltd’s Sally B, the only airworthy B-17 Flying Fortress in Europe.

As a historic site, many of Duxford’s buildings are of particular architectural or historic significance. Three hangars dating back to the First World War and the operations block, houses the wartime operations room from which Duxford’s aircraft were directed.
