Introducing the brand-new Battle of Britain Air Show at RAF Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent — 8th–9th August 2026.

✈️ THE FLYING PROGRAMME

The Aero Legends C-47 Dakota fleet will be flying, landing and dropping genuine round canopy paratroopers above RAF Woodchurch, the same aircraft that supported the D-Day 82 commemorative parachute operations over Normandy. The same Dakotas, coming home to Kent.

Further aircraft will be announced as the programme is confirmed. Full flying programme published early, you'll know exactly what to expect before you book.

🪖 THE GROUND EXPERIENCE
This isn't just an airshow you watch. It's an afternoon when you step inside.

The 1940s atmosphere begins the moment you arrive. Military vehicles, tanks and WW2 jeeps. Living history reenactment groups across the site. 1940s music and wartime singers performing throughout both days. The sounds, the sights and the atmosphere of wartime Britain, on a summer afternoon in Kent.
Visitors in 1940s period dress are warmly encouraged, and those who commit to the spirit of the day will be offered a dedicated photo opportunity on the flight line, beside a Spitfire.

🚧 THE FLIGHT LINE WALK
At the end of every flying programme, the barriers come down.
Every visitor, on every ticket, walks out airside. Among the aircraft. No rope lines. No distance. The kind of access that usually means a trip to Goodwood. This August, it's included with every ticket at RAF Woodchurch.
