Welcome to the Pathfinder Museum Page

In August 1942 Winston Churchill ordered Bomber Command to form an organization, which would be known as the Path Finder Force (PFF). Initially consisting of No.7, 35, 83, 109 and 156 Squadrons, the Pathfinders were tasked with leading the main bomber forces and accurately marking enemy targets prior to their arrival. Their efforts undoubtedly helped Britain win the war.

The museum commemorates that organization and those who gave so much in achieving its goals.

The Pathfinder Museum proudly displays one of the largest unpublished collections of Path Finder Force (PFF) photographs in existence, together with many items of memorabilia associated with the PFF. In addition, many aviation items are on display, not only equipment but also items recovered from the crash sites of many World War Two aircraft. Where possible, these are displayed together with photographs of the crew concerned and details of the aircraft loss.

Opening Times

The Museum is run by volunteers and does not have fixed opening times as all visits are by appointment only. For ex Pathfinders and their families we offer private tours at a time convenient to them. We also try and accommodate all other veterans at a time suitable to all those involved. Further to these individuals, we are more than happy to host organised groups, societies and schools in parties of up to 25.

The Museum staff also offer a ‘travelling road show’ in the form of, either a PowerPoint® slide presentation for organised local groups, generally at their regular evening meeting place. Or, for established local indoor or outdoor events such as airshows, open days and community events we offer a fixed display consisting of artefacts and photographic media.
