As early as 1981 the Museum established a membership scheme to give anyone interested in helicopters the opportunity to support the development of the Museum. In 1997 the membership
structure was reviewed and re-arranged with one group catering for the Friends of the Helicopter
Museum (FHM).

The FHM aim to bring together people with the mutual interest of helicopters and provide a supporters group for the Helicopter Museum, with opportunities for members to be actively involved.

50% of all subscriptions pass directly to the Museum with the remainder used by the FHM to purchase specified items or equipment for the Museum, or to develop the  'Friends'.

All members of the FHM have the chance to play a part and if you would like to join please print out the membership form attached to this link and send it to the address provided. Membership gives you the following benefits :
