About Us
The Royal Aero Club Trust was established in 1998.
Generous donations from several Royal Aero Club member associations and the Royal Aeronautical Society funded the initial expenses and Trust publicity.
We are actively raising funds so that we can help young people to take part in air sports and recreation, and to conserve the Club's unique collection of memorabilia.
If you love air sport and recreation, there are a number of ways in which you could assist the Trust in its tasks - these include Gift Aid Donations, Legacies and Covenants.
