The Cleveland Aviation Society are a group of aircraft enthusiasts based in the northeast UK. The club has been running since 1986 and has visited all the main flying bases both American and British across the UK. 

April 2006 saw our 20th Anniversary, and is no mean feat as our staple food - Military Aviation is now much rarer to find in the UK.

As individuals and as a group we are always keen to meet new fellow enthusiasts and to discuss the many and varied aspects of our hobby.

We also try to visit as many active flying bases as we can for tours 'inside the wire', something which has become harder to manage in recent years.

We are keen to foster links with outer groups, big or small.

 

I do try to keep this site updated, but like the RAF, I find it difficult to do all the jobs I have to do , never mind the ones I want to with the limited resources available to me...

SPECIAL EVENT NOTIFICATIONS: 

STANDARD DEDICATION CEREMONY - The Air Gunners Ass'n:

 

The Air Gunners, in conjunction with the Yorkshire Air Museum, have decided to dedicate and lay up their new standard on the 23rd April, 2010. Some may know that the previous standard was not returned by the last Standard Bearer and, despite much investigation, it has proved impractical to recover.

 
Most will also know that we owe a debt of thanks to the Air Gunners both in our inauguration and also because of their continued membership of and contribution to our Association  .  For this reason, I believe we should give us as much support as we can to this special day at Elvington on the 23rd April (St George's Day). The laying up of the Air Gunners Association Standard  will take place at 1130 in the Memorial Hangar. Its final resting place, will I believe, be in the Air Gunners' Memorial Room which has been set up and maintained so well. A BBMF flypast has been requested for 1115.
 
So it would be great if as many as possible, could make this a date for our shared participation. If Branches could bring along standards, this would also help to make it a special day. We plan on our own National Standard being there. Perhaps Branches would let me know if they will be there with a standard.
 
The day will also be an opportunity for us to spend time at the Museum and lend our support to the Archive Trust who are making their contribution to the Museum and represent us into the future.
 
I would also like us to be able to support the Yorkshire Air Museum, a fitting home for much of our history.
 
Let us make it a great day and I hope to see many of you there..
