The Lashenden Air Warfare Museum receives no financial support from the government, lottery grants or the local council. The museum is entirely volunteer run with no paid staff.

Museum funding comes entirely from ticket sales, ‘Friends of LAWM’ memberships, items sold in the Museum shop and fundraising events. We also receive some income from bequests and donations made to the museum by those who believe in what we are trying to do.

The restoration of the museums Fieseler Fi 103R-4 Reichenberg cost the museum £40,000. The erection and fitting out of the museums new display hall will have cost us about £130,000 by the time it is completed. This significant outlay came in addition to normal day-to-day expenditure and severely depleted our reserves. We would therefore welcome any donation you may care to make to ensure our future, no matter how large or small.
