The 2024 Symposium will be held on 21-22nd September 2024. at a new venue for the Society, RAF Museum Hendon in North London.

This is an exciting new venue for us and of course there are many connections between the war in the air, the RAF and T E Lawrence

The facilities and opportunities at Hendon are first class and the format and programme will be similar to previous symposia, with the usual mix of learned presentations, exhibitions, and an opportunity to explore and experience the archives and exhibits at Hendon.

All details and booking form will be sent out to members when available

The most important gathering organized by the Society in the UK is the Symposium, held every two years. Past speakers have included such eminent names as Jeremy Wilson, Malcolm Brown, Professor John E. Mack, Professor John Adair and Dr Philip O’Brien.
