RAF Artefact List

Remembrance Day Is Everyday

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.

de Havilland Venom WR557 Catalogue No. RAF 0072A

Taken on charge and delivered to the RAF on February 9, 1956. On 4 March 1957, Flight Lieutenant William Forster Marshall (aged 31) had taken off from RAF Silloth in Cumbria for a test flight in WR557. Just over fifteen minutes into the flight Flt Lt Marshall reported that the aircraft’s elevator was jammed and requested let down assistance to return to Silloth. At that time the aircraft was plotted by radio fixes as being a short distance from Durham.
