The Armed Forces Covenant
Proudly supporting those who serve
In December 2022, the Museum proudly signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support Defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the Armed Forces community, and align their values with the Covenant.
We are thrilled to have been successful in achieving our Gold Award as part of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme 2024, following on from our Silver Award in 2023. These awards demonstrate our commitment to supporting the Armed Forces, their families, Veterans and Cadets.
Chairman of the Army Flying Museum’s Board of Trustees, retired Army Air Corps Major General Neil Sexton said:
“I am delighted that the forces-friendly credentials of the Army Flying Museum have been recognised by this Gold Award under the Employer Recognition Scheme. The Museum is the embodiment of a link between today’s Army aviators, their heritage and their future, with many of its employees and volunteers being military veterans and family members of serving or former Army aviation soldiers. In addition, cadets from local schools and organisations provide vital reinforcements to help at major events like the Museum's flagship annual fundraiser, Wallop Wheels & Wings, and learn so much in the process.”
