About the Friends

The Friends of the RAAF Museum (FoRM) is a volunteer support organization providing assistance to the operations of the Royal Australian Air Force Museum. Created in 1993 the Friends came into existence through the efforts of a group of dedicated enthusiasts and passionate museum staff. The Friends was created as a conduit for raising funds, as an organisation to husband the museum's volunteers and to act as a political voice for the museum should it be necessary.

Aims

The Friends aim to promote and advance the role of the RAAF Museum in the preservation and display of aircraft and equipment of significance to the RAAF. In doing so we aim to advance the education of the public in the history of the Australian Flying Corps and the RAAF.
