Description

The Royal Air Force Museum consists of an adjoining pair of former aircraft hangars, built around 1914. These structures are timber framed and feature elliptical (Belfast) trusses with timber lattice webs. Late 20th-century additions made for the museum are not considered to be of special interest.

Local climate

Royal Air Force Museum sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
