Imperial War Museum Duxford (IWM Duxford) on Duxfordissa, Yhdistyneessä kuningaskunnassa sijaitseva ilmailumuseo ja lentokenttä. Museo on osa Imperial War Museumia. Siellä vieraili vuonna 2017 yhteensä noin 392 000 kävijää[1].

Historia

Ennen museotoimintaa Duxfordissa sijaitsi Britannian ilmavoimien tukikohta. Kuvassa tukikohdan pääsisäänkäynti keväällä 1945.

Duxfordin lentokenttä rakennettiin ensimmäisen maailmansodan aikana Britannian ilmavoimien tukikohdaksi. Kenttää käytettiin aluksi ilmavoimien henkilöstön kouluttamiseen. Vuodesta 1924 lähtien Duxfordin lentokenttää alettiin käyttämään myös taistelulentojen tukikohtana. Toisen maailmansodan sytyttyä lentokenttä käytettiin muun muassa Britannian puolustamiseen Saksan ilmapommituksia vastaan sekä sodan loppupuolella Yhdysvaltain ilmavoimien 78th Fighter Group -yksikön tukikohtana.[3]

Duxfordin lentokenttää käytettiin vielä toisen maailmansodan jälkeenkin Britannian ilmavoimien tukikohtana, mutta kenttä ei enää vastannut ilmavoimien tarpeita. Lentokentän sijaintia pidettiin huonona ja uudenlaiset hävittäjäkoneet olisivat vaatineet kentän uudistamista. Tämän vuoksi Britannian ilmavoimat luopuivat lentokentän käytöstä vuonna 1961.[3]

Samaan aikaan Duxfordin lentokentän hiljentymisen kanssa Imperial War Museum etsi itselleen uusia tiloja, koska sen Lontoon museo oli käynyt liian pieneksi suurten lentokonekokoelmien kunnostamista ja esillepanoa varten. Tämän vuoksi Imperial War Museum päätti yhdessä Cambridgeshiren valtuuston ja Duxfordin ilmailuseuran kanssa avata uuden toimipisteen Duxfordin lentokentälle.[3] Uusi museo avattiin yleisölle vuonna 1976[4].
