​Keeping the memory alive – Donations to the museum’s collection

We are interested in hearing from families of former members of 106 Squadron and those who served at RAF Metheringham.
 
• If you have any information about your relative’s service with 106 Squadron at RAF Metheringham, Coningsby or Syerston, our Research Officer would be interested to hear from you.
• If families would like to discuss donating their loved-one’s 106-Sqn, military-related, treasured items to the museum for safekeeping, then we would also be interested to hear from you.
We hold a reunion annually for former aircrew and their relatives at MAVC in July. If you haven’t attended the reunion before and would like to do so, please complete the Relatives Contact form and we’ll get in touch with you. 

 
Please see our advice for donations below prior to any visit to the museum. Thank you.
