I am currently volunteering some time at the new Biggin Hill Memorial Museum.
The museum has been collecting objects, archive material, and people’s stories since 2015, and the collection tells the story of the airfield, the people who served there, the local community and its residents from 1916 to 1951.
The collection has a particular focus on the Battle of Britain, during which RAF Biggin Hill played a pivotal role. Many of the objects they hold are personal and have been donated by people who served or lived at Biggin Hill, or their relatives. The collection also includes objects related to remembrance and memorial at St George’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance and its predecessor.
