Inspiring Everyone: RAF Museum and RAF Air Cadets Join Forces
Published on: 7 August 2024
The Royal Air Force Museum and the RAF Air Cadets are pleased to announce the signing of a Cooperation Agreement formalising their strategic partnership. The partnership will draw on RAF stories for inspiration, learning and enjoyment, supporting the RAF Air Cadets to develop new skills and understanding and ensuring the RAF Museum’s collection and sites remain relevant for people of all ages.
The Agreement marks a significant step forward in fostering a deeper relationship between the two organisations. It was signed at the Museum in London by RAF Museum CEO – Maggie Appleton MBE and Commandant RAF Air Cadets – Air Cdre A C Keeling OBE.
The first major project to combine our resources and expertise is the co-creation of a new exhibition which is part of the Museum’s Inspiring Everyone: RAF Museum Midlands Development Programme opening in 2027 that will explore the RAF and its people from 1980 to the present day and invite visitors to imagine its future.
RAF Museum CEO Maggie Appleton MBE:
‘The RAF Air Cadets have generously supported the Museum over many years at events and receptions at both our London and Midlands sites and, in turn, enjoyed engagement with our team and exhibitions. We are delighted to formalise our partnership with this Agreement and very much look forward to deepening and developing our friendship together.’
