Welcome to the Martlesham Heath Aviation Society website.

Martlesham Heath Aviation Society Mission Statement

The Martlesham Heath Aviation Society is dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and educating the public about the rich aviation history of Martlesham Heath. We are committed to:

  • Preservation: Safeguarding and maintaining historical aviation artifacts, documents, and the heritage site of Martlesham Heath.
  • Education: Providing informative and engaging programs, exhibitions, and resources to increase awareness and understanding of aviation history.
  • Community Engagement: Fostering a sense of community by hosting events, lectures, and activities that bring together aviation enthusiasts and the local population.
  • Inspiration: Honouring the pioneering spirit of past aviators to inspire future generations in the field of aviation.

Through these efforts, we aim to honour the legacy of Martlesham Heath's significant contributions to aviation and ensure its stories continue to inspire and educate.

 

We also run a programme of monthly talks and can provide guided visits. We're always looking for new members, volunteers and supporters.

Please come and visit us or get in contact!

MHAS recognise the contribution of many people and organisations in building and maintaining the Society.  Special thanks to those who allow us to use photographs including Richard E Flagg @UK Airfields, Ross Whitaker and Little Friends.
