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 accurately designating enemy targets en route. 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The Pathfinder Museum proudly displays one of the largest unpublished collections of Path Finder Force (PFF) photographs in existence, together with many items of memorabilia associated with the PFF.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.
