As we mark the 25th anniversary of the American Air Museum, UK we look back at the RIBA Stirling Prize winning project and offer the opportunity to explore the museum in 360VR. Duxford airfield in Cambridgeshire was a Battle of Britain fighter station. Later, as one of a hundred US Airforce bases in Britain, it was the headquarters of the 78th Fighter Group. Now maintained by the Imperial War Museum, it has the finest collection of American aircraft outside the United States. Nineteen of its thirty-eight aircraft are airworthy, and it attracts over 350,000 visitors each year to its summer air displays. The centrepiece of the collection is also the largest − a B-52 bomber. 'The success of this project lies in the resonance between the elegant engineered form of the building and the technically driven shapes of the aeroplanes. The building itself sustains the fascination of these objects.' RIBA Stirling Prize jury 1998. 🔗Visit the link in bio for the virtual experience. #360VR #AmericanAirMuseum
