Goolie Chit

Who would of thought that such little piece of paper has been saving save lives of the RAF servicemen from 1920s until present day?

A Goolie Chit, so called because it protected an airman’s most personal items, was a message of vital importance written on many languages which promised a reward for anyone who aided an airman trapped behind enemy lines.

One is now on display in 1 of 3 our new incredible exhibitions ‘RAF Stories: The First 100 Year 1918-2018’. Why not drop in to view it?

Just one of 100 reasons to visit the RAF Museum this summer.
