Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing your link in the comments below, anytime between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time).
The Imperial War Museum Duxford is near Duxford in Cambridgeshire, England. It is Britain’s largest aviation museum housing nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibition buildings.
These photographs of various aircraft are from our visit in 2016. They all have interesting doors.

Air museums are wonderful places to visit, especially if you have kids that are interested in airplanes.

I’m not into aircrafts but my husband is, Robbie. Over the years, I’ve learned about the first airplanes, first pilots, and first women pilots. Quite interesting.

Yes, I also know a little. My previous boyfriend is a pilot and I have a husband and two sons. Pretty hard to escape cars and aircraft.

I know, Robbie. Guys and boys seem to be more interested in cars and aircraft. My husband used to go to car shows with his best friend Randy before he died of bike accident.

This is a first, Robbie. I have only traveled to England once, but my friend and I visited Duxford. I am so glad to see your photos. They remind me of a very good trip, meeting with a great friend and a wonderful museum experience.

It’s nice to know you’ve visited England, Dan. This museum was a big hit with my boys. I enjoyed it too. I dated a pilot for a number of years when I left high school so I have been to many airshows and flown in lots of small planes.

My friend lives in Ipswich. I took the train up from London. I was only there for a couple days but he gave me a nice tour. I had taken him to our local air museum when he visited here. Duxford was incredible.

Wonderful photos, Robbie. My husband used to work at an airport many years ago. When the Concorde landed there he was able to board it.

Hi Erika, thank you for visiting me here. I thought the airplane’s would interest a lot of people. We spent quite a bit of time in this museum and I have some more photographs for next week. An amazing visit.

Ah, a typical man. I enjoyed it too but not as much as the castles [smile]. This was Terence’s choice.

the castles would be quite appealing as well. But my top choice would simply be a day at the beach. We never got to go to the beaches in England, since we were there from January-March…

We have only been to Whitstable, Jim. It is full of stones and have been freezing every time I’ve visited. Nope, UK beaches are not cool after South African beaches and the Mediterranean.

I watched the movie “The Martian” starring Matt Damon – And along with your post thought about doors on air and space craft. They really do have to be just right and secure. Engineering those fits must be mindboggling!
