About

The Trenchard Museum is based at RAF Halton, Halton, Buckinghamshire, England. The overall aim of the museum is to preserve and display items that relate to the early history of the Royal Air Force, particularly the training of apprentices that took place at RAF Halton. It is named after Lord Trenchard, who is known as the father of the Royal Air Force, founded the aircraft apprentice scheme, and had a strong association with RAF Halton.

The museum was opened in 1999. The Trenchard Museum also incorporates the James McCudden Flight Heritage Centre and the Trenchard Archive. They are situated close together on the station.
