🎥 Behind-the-scenes footage of the RAF Museum’s latest acquisition, the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper, making its way onto the Royal Air Force Cosford airfield ready for the RAF Cosford Air Show this Sunday! 🎉 This will be the first opportunity for aviation fans to see it on display.✈️👀 The Reaper entered service with the RAF in 2007 and was its first combat-capable remotely piloted aircraft system, or ‘drone’ 🚁. The Reaper’s ability to loiter over targets undetected has given it an invaluable role in intelligence gathering 🛰️ and precision strike operations 🎯 in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The Reaper retired from global RAF operations in 2025 after 18 years of service 🫡. 🏛️ The Reaper will become the first aircraft of its type to enter a UK museum collection. While it will be some time before it goes on permanent display at the Museum as part of our forthcoming exhibition, ‘The RAF: 1980 to Today’, we are excited to offer Cosford Air Show visitors this exclusive early preview 👏✨. If you're at the Air Show this Sunday, come see us!

In this video, Al Murray, takes you behind the scenes of one of our biggest operations yet… Since launching the Crate Escape in May last year, teams at MOD Stafford have been 🔍 checking, 🧽 conserving and 📦 packing thousands of historic RAF objects for their move to a new Collections Hub at our Midlands site. With over 50,000 items to relocate, this stored collection will be accessible to the public for the very first time from next summer. 🌟 📦 Please help us achieve this mission by sponsoring a box from £30: 👉 💙 Thank you to everyone who has already sponsored a box – your support is helping to protect these stories for generations to come. #TheCrateEscape #RAFMuseum #BehindTheScenes #MODStafford #RAFHistory
