| Celebrating the RAF centenary (1918-2018)The programme is in two parts. Part 1 is a revival of Fighter Command and the Battle for Britain, which was first performed at the Museum in 2015. This one act musical for chorus and narrator was commissioned for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. With an original concept and words by Philip Barnett, and music by Bryan Kesselman, the development of the piece was funded by Arts Council England and The Heritage Lottery Fund.

Part 2 contains all new material, written by Philip and Bryan to commemorate and celebrate the RAF centenary. RAF100 is a 25 minute programme which includes both musical and spoken items. For RAF100, we will be joined by The Chiltern Singers and actor, Ruth Sillers.
