The societies Aviation Heritage Collection contains countless artefacts, documents and photographs established from over five decades, which include aircraft crash site investigations and recovery, aircraft preservation and memorial construction to name but a few. A large percentage of the collection relates to the societies work in Buckinghamshire and surrounding counties, but it also stretches far and wide with much work being carried out in Europe and in particular France, the Netherlands and Germany.

Although most work is mainly related to aviation subjects the act of remembrance remains paramount in all our work, from the construction of memorials to the recovery of missing airmen.

Many other subjects relating to 20th century history have also been encountered during our research work and these are recorded in our miscellaneous collection section
