The Museum is run entirely by a team of unpaid volunteers from the Solway Aviation Society. All the staff are aviation enthusiasts who dedicate some of their spare time to preserving part of Cumbria's aviation history. Many have skills and abilities gained from experience in the aviation industry or as ex-service personnel, while others have a keen interest or skill that they are willing to share with other members.
What Can I Do?
We need help in all sorts of areas not necessarily related directly to our aircraft. So if you’re a dab hand at:
- Building Maintenance Repair
- Electrical or Electronics
- IT
- Office Organisation and Systems
- Cataloguing
- Sign Writing
- Graphic Design
- Fund Raising
- Desktop Publishing
- Writing
The list is endless, then Contact Us. We always need a wide range of skills to help on current and future projects.
Current Projects
We are striving to develop new ways to present our exhibits and to develop the Museum to a permanent site with covered areas to protect our ageing aircraft collection.
There is always something to do and current projects include the ongoing maintenance of the Vulcan along with the refurbishment of its systems in an attempt to halt the effects of corrosion. We also hope to bring some systems live on the Vulcan in the coming year.
How To Get Involved
We are always looking for people to help preserve, maintain, display and administer this important collection so if you are interested in joining us for this interesting work you can speak to a member of our staff at the Museum or fill in an application form (Click Here for application). Post your application along with a passport type photograph of yourself and a cheque for the membership fee.
