A personal perspective

The brief was to tell the RAF’s 100-year history from a human perspective while showcasing a unique collection of diverse objects - from cutlery to aircraft. Our design approach placed details of innovative technologies, global alliances and partnerships alongside objects, and highlighted heroic, touching and emotional personal stories about extraordinary people.

Emotive and sensory

We brought resonance to this important history by sharing powerful stories like Noor Inayat Khan’s, a Sufi Muslim teacher who became the first woman radio operator dropped behind enemy lines and was captured, tortured and eventually executed without revealing information to the enemy. Varied pace, with hands-on and immersive opportunities as well as spectacle, told this important story in an absorbing and emotive way.
