If you’re planning a trip to Britain this spring, consider visiting the RAF Museum London’s Colindale site to see some amazing aviation pictures. On display there until April 28 are the winners of the 24th annual RAF Photographic Competition.

In presenting this year’s top honors, Air Chief Marshal Sir Andrew Pulford stressed the wealth of experience that was conveyed in the more than 1,200 entries, saying: “These dynamic images reflect the extensive breadth of Royal Air Force life, the critical contribution that our personnel are making to UK Defence and operations around the world.”

Entry to the photography exhibit is free, as is admission to the Colindale museum, conveniently situated just a half-hour Tube ride from central London. To find out more about the photographs or the museum, visit rafmuseum.org/whatson.
