Welcome to SHHAS

We are a small group of aviation enthusiasts located in the Southampton area. We hold our meetings on the first Wednesday of the month at the Romsey Working Men's Conservative Club.  Our society was founded in 1980 by Wing Cmdr. David Bennett AFRAES and Leslie Loader. It is open to anyone with an interest in aviation and although the name states “Historical” we try to cater for all aspects of aviation.

Our activities are mainly concerned with having guest speakers at our monthly meetings talking on any aspects of aviation. We visit RAF stations, air shows & museums etc that have an aviation theme. We also have a few social functions throughout the year including our own fly-in.

Meetings take place on the first Wednesday of the month at 7.30 for 8.00pm start at :-

Romsey Working Men's Conservative Club,  (2nd Floor),
13 Market Place,

Romsey.
SO51 8NA

New Oxford Spitfire squadron being built for 2012

Posted: 01.01.12

An Oxfordshire flying club is building a new squadron of Spitfires for the new year.
Work has already started on one of the Supermarine Mk26B Spitfires at Enstone Flying Club near Chipping Norton.
When completed each aircraft will weigh 810kg and will be a 90% scale version of an original three-tonne Spitfire.
Manager of the project, Paul Fowler, said the aim was to "keep the Spitfire legend alive for ever".  Twenty volunteers are constructing the first Spitfire, but more volunteers are needed to build the following 11.
