The Museum of Army Flying has issued an appeal for donations after revealing it does not currently have the funds to replace worn flooring in two of its key exhibition areas.
The Middle Wallop-based charity is seeking help to replace a carpet runner and artificial grass in its 1940s house exhibit, as well as torn carpet in its Victoria Cross (VC) display area. Museum staff say the existing flooring in both spaces has become damaged through regular use and is now in need of urgent attention.
As a registered charity, the Museum says financial constraints mean it is unable to cover the cost of replacements at this time. Instead, it is asking whether any individuals or businesses may be able to donate a suitable carpet runner, a piece of red carpet, or a large section of artificial grass.
The affected areas are popular with visitors and form an important part of the Museum’s storytelling, helping to bring the history of Army aviation and military service to life.
The Museum has thanked supporters in advance for any assistance and says all offers of help will be greatly appreciated.
Anyone who may be able to support the appeal is asked to contact the Museum by emailing corporate@armyflying.com
