Organisers of the Farnborough International Airshow have chosen the RAF Museum as its charity partner for next year’s show, which will run from July 11 to 17.

The money will help the museum, based in Grahame Park Way, Colindale, mark the 100 year anniversary of the RAF.

Maggie Appleton, chief executive of the RAF Museum, said: “It’s an honour for the museum to be appointed as lead charity partner at FIA16. As the airshow engages both industry and the general public, it allows us a unique opportunity to share our ambitions for the museum.”
