Welcome to the Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum
Using this site
Our pages contain many large images, some of which can be very big. For the best experience, view the site on a Windows PC using either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, ideally on a fast, non‑metered connection.
Recently (July 2026), I’ve been restructuring the entire site. This includes cleaning up pages, moving or consolidating some sections, and fixing several missing links. The main work, however, has focused on replacing the hideous menu system we previously had.
The menu is now flat. The menu bar and its content — as seen on this main page — remain the same across all pages. Clicking a menu item takes you to that section’s index page. From there, you can navigate to the individual pages within that section. Within each page, you can move to the previous page, the next page, or back to the section index.

Reg Davis
It was with great sadness that we heard that Reg Davis had died in July 2026 at the age of 87. Reg was one of the earliest members of the Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, was always active in his support, and served on the committee as Membership Secretary. Reg will be remembered for his enthusiasm and interest in military history and heritage, and above all for his sense of humour which saw the funny side in any situation.

A historic fragment of Samuel Cody’s final aeroplane was added to the Aldershot Military Museum’s Cody Gallery in 2026, acquired by the Friends of the Museum for public display.
