Yorkshire Air Forces Museum used to be a base for 77 RAF Bomber squadron up to 1944, from then on (after suffering heavy aircraft losses), 77th moved to newly opened airfield (Sutton station), and Elvington airfield became a base for French Squadrons operating within No. 4 Group - 346 (Guyenne) and 347 (Tunisie). YAFM is one of the largest independent aviation museums in Britain. Many of available displays are held in old airfield buildings. The whole site is opened to visitors - officer's mess, living quarters, control tower, fire station, aircraft hangar...
