Our history

We're proud of our history and hope our heritage resource serves as an inspiration to current and future generations. Our central archives at Farnborough, UK, together with our centres at other sites around the world, provide a key resource for sharing our history and heritage. They are available to internal and external researchers and enthusiasts alike. Many have areas available for public visitors and we continue to support museums and collections around the world.
