The free three-day event in Lancaster gave visitors of all ages – including 101-year-old Lancaster D-Day veteran Richard Brock – a rare opportunity to step inside military aircraft, meet serving personnel and explore careers in one of the UK's most technologically advanced organisations.
Young people could meet RAF Regulars and Reservists and explore how they could become part of the next generation.
Part of a nationwide tour visiting 15 towns and cities across the UK, the RAF Town Show attracted thousands of visitors across the three days.
The event featured science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) challenges showcasing the innovation behind RAF operations, a mixed-reality experience, opportunities to discover the different sports available to RAF Regulars and Reservists, and live performances from an RAF band.
