As a volunteer
-
Volunteers are the secret to our success!
Volunteers are an integral part of our day-to-day functioning, and without them we would not be where we are today.
Our volunteers have been involved in many community projects over the years, from the making of movies to meeting the Queen. A typical response from our volunteers is that along with their interest in aviation, the camaraderie and friendships they make here are an important part of the experience.
Here are just a few of the volunteer positions we offer:
