ULSTER AVIATION SOCIETY
We are the Ulster Aviation Society
MONTHLY MEMBERS' MEETING
A charitable society that is a diverse group of enthusiasts, working on a voluntary basis to further public education in the history of aviation.
We are also winners of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
What aircraft do we have?
Our heritage collection currently includes 41+ aircraft, ranging from vintage WWII fighters through Cold War-era fast jets, Shorts-designed & built aircraft, light transport, civilian aircraft, home-builds, plus military helicopters, support vehicles, engines, artefacts and rare aviation reference materials, all with strong links to aviation within the island of Ireland.
Where are we located?
Our aircraft are housed within two ex-WWII hangars at Maze Long Kesh, outside Lisburn (on the site of the old prison) in N. Ireland.
Can you join the Aviation Society?
Yes. Enjoy exclusive Membership Benefits when you join the Ulster Aviation Society.
Download our Membership Form here, or if you visit our hangar, one of our Hangar Volunteers can help you join as well.
Can you visit the Hangar to see our Aircraft?
Currently only during family visits are organised by PRIOR arrangement only.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we will update, as and when any policy changes happen.
We are only open from March ~ October. It's too cold in the hangar during the Northern Ireland Winter for visitors, so it's hangar volunteers only during this "Baltic" period of the year. Layers, hats, scarves and gloves required!
*Strictly NON-Member reviews only please!!
