Significant events
- “in May 2024, we became the first UK museum to display an Apache AH Mk.1 (ZJ224) – something that has been one of our core objectives for over a decade. This momentous occasion was made even more special with a visit from His Majesty King Charles III at the launch.”
- “Visitor figures are up again this year (22% on the previous year), with a new audience being attracted from the area to the East of the museum including Newbury, Reading and Basingstoke.”
- “Our continued partnership with Leonardo Helicopters has allowed us to grow our annual STEM day (aimed at 12-13 year olds) and over 150 attended this year's event.”
- “introduction of the Discovery Den, an area dedicated to engineering and technology for all ages, at our annual flagship fundraising event, Wallop Wheels and Wings.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
