Discover the story of British Army Flying

Our museum is a charitable organization that is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of British Army aviation. With a collection that spans over 100 years, we have a vast array of exhibits that are sure to captivate visitors of all ages.

Our collections chart the progression of British Army aviation from its inception in 1878 to the present day. Our displays cover the five main branches of Army aviation: the Royal Engineers, the Royal Flying Corps, the Glider Pilot Regiment, Air Observation Post Squadrons, and the Army Air Corps. Our exhibits include a diverse range of aircraft, such as the Beaver AL Mk.1, the Auster AOP Mk.9, the Islander AL Mk.1, and many more.
As a charity, we rely heavily on the support of our visitors and donors.
