Royal Air Force Millom or more simply RAF Millom is a former Royal Air Force station located in Cumbria, England Opened in January 1941 as No.2 bombing and gunnery school and in summer became No.

The museum project originated in a very small way in 1992, however due to a great deal of hard work by volunteers and ex-servicemen and women of the old RAF Millom the collection has all but outgrown the present buildings and the yard.

The museum was in financial difficulties during the summer of 2010[2] and was asked to vacate its current main site by the Ministry of Justice – owners of the buildings the museum occupies which is part of the original airfield now occupied by HM Prison Haverigg.

Millom Discovery Centre now has some of the exhibits relating to the very local area, but is limited for space.

[1] In July 2005, the archaeological television programme Time Team, along with members of RAF Millom Museum, took part in a major project to excavate the crash sites of two Douglas A-26 Invader aircraft that had collided shortly after take-off over marshes close to the then United States Army Air Forces BAD 2 airbase at Warton in Lancashire on 29 November 1944.
