WERE you serving during the Second World War? Did you fly during the Korean Conflict or the many other almost forgotten engagements such as Radian, Kenya or the Indonesian Confrontation? Did you spend many hours on QRA during the Cold War? Were you one of the 'Truckie Force', the 'Kipper Fleet' or 'Tanker Trash'? Have you still got your medals, log books, photos, documents and other memorabilia?

The Aircrew Association Archive Trust (Registered Charity No. 1087354) wants to make sure it preserves your memories for future generations. Don't let vital aviation history be lost by default by being put in the dustbin or refuse skip or sold to private collectors. The Trust wants to record your aircrew activities and make sure that key archive material is preserved and exhibited for all to research and see.

If you are a Second World War veteran of the aircrew fraternity - or surviving family - and would like to tell your story, or if you have memorabilia you would like kept for posterity, then contact the ACA Archive Trust now.

The Trustees would be pleased to receive financial support to run the Trust, and further its aims of preserving the history of the unique body of men and women that are, or were, aircrew.
