PCGB R21 Visit to Trenchard Aero Museum

The Trenchard Museum aims to preserve and display items that relate to the history of Royal Air Force Halton. The museum was named in honour of the man who is regarded as the Founding Father of the Royal Air Force, and who also founded the Aircraft Apprentice scheme with which the good name of Halton has been synonymous. The Museum was opened by the current Viscount Trenchard, grandson of the first Marshal of the Royal Air Force, on the 26 June 1999, funded and supported initially by the RAF Halton Apprentice Association (RAFHAA). Since then, the Museum’s collection has grown to include a myriad of artefacts including complete aircraft, cockpits, aero engines, weapons, tools, uniforms and a range of displays, models and memorabilia which illustrate the life, training and notable events in the history of RAF Halton. The Trenchard Museum is located inside the camp at RAF Halton near Wendover. It is a relatively small museum but packed with items related to the history of the RAF. You will have the opportunity to sit in a Red Arrows jet, see aircraft engines, firearms, ejection seats and learn about RAF training since before WW1. Entry is free but each visitor has to register their details (name, address, mobile number and registration number) in advance for security reasons as this is an active RAF station. To book please email R21@porscheclubgb.com with your details no later than Thursday 6 August.
