About the presentation
David Hands of Duxford Aviation Society Museum will present an overview of the changes in the passenger travel experience from the 1920’s to the present day, concentrating on the types of aircraft in service, what they offered the flying public and where they flew to.

It holds the most comprehensive collection of post-war British airliners in the world including iconic aircraft such as the de Havilland Comet 4, the Super VC10 and the Concorde.
