MARTLESHAM HEATH AVIATION SOCIETY - OUR LEGACY
We are here to preserve the heritage and aviation history of Martlesham Heath.
In the year 2000 we opened the Control Tower Museum and at the same time dedicated stained glass windows in the church of St Michael's and All Angels on The Heath.
The windows were funded and donated to the village by Martlesham Heath Aviation Society

On the Barrack Square between the memorial commemorating the story of the British, Commonwealth and Dominions memorial and the memorial to the 356th Fighter Group, is a third memorial.
Martlesham Heath Aviation Society were responsible for raising the funds for the purchase and erection of this monument.
The memorial contains two crests side by side. The crest for the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment and a second crest for Royal Air Force Martlesham Heath.
