Adopt an iconic object from the collection and keep us flying
Play your part in sharing a century of aviation history by adopting one our iconic artefacts and support our work in the process!
You can adopt an artefact for yourself or pick one out as a gift for someone special. Simply browse through our list of some of the best-loved objects from our collection, available across three different tiers, starting at £25.00.
Your support will help us to continue sharing the RAF Story – past, present, and future – to engage, inspire and encourage learning for current and future generations.

How it works
- Choose your artefact and click “adopt me” to process your adoption
- You’ll then receive your digital welcome pack – if you’ve adopted an object as a gift for someone, then we will send it to them
- Throughout the year you’ll receive updates about your artefact, and how your donation supports our work
Please note: This is a virtual adoption, and so you will not receive the physical artefact
