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 meeting talking on any aspects of aviation. We visit RAF stations, Air Shows and museums etc that have an aviation theme. We also have a few social functions throughout the year including our own fly-in.

Subscription is just £12 a year which includes a regular newsletter. If you are interested in joining our society you can download a membership application form here.  We look forward to seeing you.
