The partnership is sponsored by Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich and will support the expansion of the museum’s project which will feature a new Bomber Command exhibition at both the Hendon and Cosford sites, launching in 2023. The new displays will help the museum to continue to raise awareness of the previously untold story of the Jewish personnel in the RAF during the Second World War and the vital role they played in defeating the Luftwaffe in the famous ‘Battle of Britain’, preventing the Nazis from invading Britain, the last democratic stronghold in Europe.
