The museum
The South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum makes use of the former RAF Doncaster airfield and period buildings to preserve military and civilian aircraft. Its unusual mix of propeller-driven machines, experimental designs and modern jets places the history of local aerodromes beside wider British aviation development.
The South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum makes use of the former RAF Doncaster airfield and period buildings to preserve military and civilian aircraft. Its unusual mix of propeller-driven machines, experimental designs and modern jets places the history of local aerodromes beside wider British aviation development.
The aircraft collection concentrates on regional British aviation, Royal Air Force jet training, rotorcraft and the continuity of historic Doncaster airfield infrastructure. The museum provides a location-by-location aircraft list and says the public listing excludes aircraft held in storage. Certain entries identified as cockpits or replicas are explicitly marked and are not mistaken for complete surviving airframes.
The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
