context_page_description: The Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial is an aviation museum in Elvington, York on the site of the former RAF Elvington airfield, a Second World War RAF Bomber Command station. The museum was founded, and first opened to the public, in the early 1980s.
  The museum is the largest independent air museum in Britain. It is also the only Allied Air Forces Memorial in Europe and has established branches in Canada and France and the support of over 4,000 registered "friends" across the world. The museum is a Corporate Member of Friends of the Few and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
  The Museum's principal activity is in education and the history of flight, through which it is involved with aerospace manufacturers and organisations via its long term "Reach for the Sky" project. This delivered the first KS2 History of Aviation educational resource book to all 26,000 primary schools in UK, supported by RAeS and the Ministry of Transport.
