Yorkshire Air Museum

The Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial at Elvington works closely with ELMS to host reunion events, exhibitions and educational workshops dedicated to escape-line history. The former RAF Elvington airfield commemorates the French bomber squadrons (346 “Guyenne” and 347 “Tunisie”) whose links to the French Resistance underpin many freedom trail stories.

Partnership highlights

• Annual ELMS reunions: Provides venues for lectures, remembrance services and veteran interviews during the York gathering each April.
• Heritage exhibitions: Curates displays on clandestine operations, including the Comète Line, Shelburn Line and RAF intelligence support for evaders.
• Education programmes: Offers tailored sessions for schools, Scout groups and cadets focusing on resistance networks, coded communications and humanitarian decision-making.

Visitors can explore the museum year-round; consult the museum’s official site for opening times and ELMS-linked events.
