Safeguarding and supporting Britain's unique aviation history for over 50 years

Welcome to Aviation Heritage UK

Are you involved with the collection, conservation, restoration or display of historic aircraft & related exhibits?

Aviation Heritage UK represents the needs and aspirations of Britain’s unique aviation collections.

Regular Members’ meetings around the country enable discussion and networking, and the sharing of examples of best practice. A range of activities from safety training to skills education are held at Members’ own locations. Loans for projects are available, together with advice on funding opportunities.

Members of Aviation Heritage UK are inspiring the young of today to become the pilots, engineers and technicians of the future.

Please note that AHUK no longer goes by the name British Aircraft Preservation Council and no longer controls the BAPC web domain.
