Montrose was the location for Great Britain’s first operational military airfield and was established by the Royal Flying Corps in February 1913.
The Heritage Centre shows the human side of the air stations past with a collection of contemporary photographs, artefacts and memorabilia. These not only tell of the history of the airfield but also the story of the men and women who served there and those who lived in the area.
It is an independent, fully accredited, museum run entirely by volunteers and has received The Queens Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award for volunteer groups in the UK.
There is something for everyone from local and aviation history to famous ghosts. We have a Gloster Meteor, the first operational RAF jet in WWII, and a T22 Royal Fleet Arm Vampire jet. There is also Scotland’s only full size replica WWI Sopwith Camel and ‘The Red Lichtie' a replica WWII Mk5 Spitfire. Volunteers involved in our ‘First in France’ project are currently building a full size WWI B.E.2a aircraft as flown at Montrose in 1913. Come and see for yourself the see the progress they are making. Using original plans the aircraft will be crafted from wood, metal and canvas.
