The Society's 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 Society's work 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 also recorded here.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 189, Werk no. 2100, is the only surviving example of this German twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft from World War II. It was originally an Fw 189A-1, coded V7+1H, and assigned to 1.(H)/32. This aircraft was shot down on May 4, 1943, near the Soviet-Finnish border. The wreckage was recovered in 1991 and brought to the UK for restoration By Jim Pearce. It is now part of the Flying Heritage Collection in Washington State
