Display items including historic military aircraft like the Vulcan, Lightning and Javelin have been given a very special spring clean at RAF Museum Midlands.

This is no easy feat though and rope access technicians are required to conduct the annual deep clean and some very important safety checks.

The operation takes 48 hours and requires industrial-sized dusters and mops for the wings and bodywork of many of the aircraft.
