raf hendon
On Wednesday 10th November, Year 6 visited the RAF Hendon Museum in Hendon. The day started with exploring the vast hangars where we saw vehicles from the world war eras, including planes, tractors, a police car as well as a flying boat! It was particularly poignant to see a Spitfire and Messerschmitt, which we have learned so much about when studying the Battle of Britain. It was also amazing to see and use the interactive display also dedicated to this major air campaign.
During the afternoon, we met an air raid warden who told us all about life during World War II. Thankfully, he was able to lead us safely to the shelter during an air raid. We then learned about different RAF uniforms, including one belonging to Daphne Pearson, an officer in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, who won the Empire Gallantry Medal for her incredible bravery. All the children were then given the opportunity to try on and wear genuine RAF World War II uniforms, including the one belonging to Daphne Pearson.
