Talks

The story of the Battle, brought to you.

The Museum offers speakers to interested groups, societies and organisations, and from time to time holds talks at the Museum itself.

Talks for Your Group

Our volunteers can speak on a range of subjects:

  • the Battle of Britain
  • the Museum
  • the history of RAF Hawkinge
  • aircraft recovery

Talks are usually given as a PowerPoint presentation and can be tailored to your requirements. They usually run from 45 to 90 minutes and can include questions and answers, during or after the talk. We do ask that the group, society or organisation supplies all the equipment.

Where We Have Spoken

Museum volunteers have given talks as far afield as Filton in Gloucestershire and the Historic Aircraft Collection at IWM Duxford in Cambridgeshire, as well as many closer to home in and around Kent.

Talks at the Museum

From time to time, talks are held at the Museum by a volunteer, an author or a historian, on subjects relating to the Battle of Britain. Details are announced on this website and on our social media.

Arrange a Talk

To arrange a talk for your group, speak to a member of staff when you visit and they will put you in touch with the right person, or contact Museum Chairman Dave Brocklehurst.
