Parham Airfield Museum Charity No. 1201587

Parham Airfield, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK. IP13 9AF. Annual Report for the year November 2024 to October 2025,

AGM 22nd March 2026

1. Preface

Trustees:

Brand, Stephen Brisland, Carol Fenner, Paul Kindred, Peter Kindred, Lydia Moore, Judith (Treasurer) Nials, Anthony (Vice Chair) Pratt, Christopher Scripps, Martin Senior, Peter (Chair) Smith, Jennifer Willis, Peter

Structure, Governance and Management:

The museum has been a charity for many years. We became incorporated on 16[th] January 2023. The previous charity, no. 284146, was closed on application to the Charity Commission in 2024. The new, incorporated charity has the same purpose and is governed in accordance with the constitution dated 4[th] December 2022, amended on 14[th] September 2025 and published on the Charity Commission website. Up to twelve trustees may be appointed. Of these up to three may be appointed by blood relatives of the late Percy Kindred. The remainder are elected by the voting members. Members agree who will hold the various responsibilities, except that the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer are appointed at the first trustees meeting following the AGM.

There are no paid employees. The Chair acts as Chief Executive Officer for day-to-day management. Role descriptions exist for key post holders, most of whom are trustees.

Financial Review:

The Museum maintains a financial reserve of £10,000 plus interest accrued. This separate reserve fund is to ensure that unexpected, uninsured costs or routine essential expenditure

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

can be met when they exceed the budget plan for each year, or when a reduction in anticipated income occurs. This fund has not been used.

The annual accounts demonstrate that none of our budget headings are in deficit: indeed, the overall financial position is very healthy, and we continue to rely mainly on donations from our supporters, for which we are extremely grateful.

The trustees’ wish is that access to the museum is available to all and thus they intend to continue the policy that admission is free. However, there is an ongoing need to encourage visitors to be as generous as possible with their donations and use of Gift Aid.

We continue to be extremely grateful for the regular funding provided by the Moller Foundation. This means we can rely on meeting our fixed costs and have funding for repairs and improvements on the 390th side of the museum. The money is a great help with building projects too.

The trustees have taken professional advice on their investment policy and determined that the greatest risk for our investments is inflation. Thus, capital has been placed with our bank in business deposit accounts where the interest is competitive. This avoids fund management fees and the risk of capital values decreasing.

Our financial control policy and procedures are reviewed and if necessary updated annually to reflect changes such as the use of online banking modern accounting software.

The trustees do not hold funds on behalf of others.

Public Benefit Statement:

The trustees have complied with their duty to have regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers.

We open regularly between April and October and respond to queries throughout the year. There are up to date policies on conflict of interest and benefits.

Objectives of Parham Airfield Museum:

To advance the education of the public by the display and preservation of aircraft, aeronautical equipment and other items, particularly relating to the period 1939 to 1945 and connected with the 390th Bombardment Group and other units of the United States Army Air Forces, and the Auxiliary Units and other branches of the British Resistance Organisation for the long-term public benefit.

2. Activities, Achievements and Performance

Introduction

This has been another very successful and rewarding year for the museum, with strong support from the public, good visitor numbers and much appreciative feedback.

The AGM was held as usual in March. The trustees have met five times. A Special General Meeting was convened to approve a change to the constitution which removed the requirement that one third of elected trustees stand down every year. Terms of office remain unchanged.

On Memorial Day we sent a delegation to Madingley American Cemetery to represent the 390th Bombardment Group (H) and lay a wreath at the formal ceremony. On Remembrance Day we again welcomed volunteer students from Framlingham College Air Cadets and the College Chaplain. A high proportion of our volunteers participated.

Visitors and Events

This year we recorded 4939 visitors, which compares well to recent years once allowance is made for our previous decision not to host large-scale outdoor events and the boost created by cruise ship groups in 2024. The total included a pleasing 750 children, although this was lower than the 812 visiting in 2024. The museum provides activity booklets, quizzes, colouring books, pencils and crayons for our younger visitors. Children have enjoyed the various “hands on” experiences we provide.

We are especially proud to have received 8 separate school parties. Those schools that visit regularly have integrated the offsite day into their curriculum offer. They are mainly from the upper years of primary schools or the lower years of secondary. Interestingly, 384 children came with school parties, an increase on 357 in 2024. Thus, the slight decline in child numbers was in the number visiting with families, 366 compared to 455 in 2024. Perhaps this is an indication of the financial circumstances facing young families. Another reason for continuing our policy of free admission for all!

There were 18 parties of adult visitors who came in groups by prior arrangement, up from 13 in 2024. Car and motorcycle clubs usually come on a Sunday, but others may involve opening on a day when we are closed to the public. If a group arrive for an agreed time, we offer a short introduction to the museum. This year a group of Cambridge Alumni were provided with formal presentations on both aspects of the museum before their tour of the exhibits. Thanks to our volunteers we always find sufficient staff to assist.

We have continued our established links with The Museum of the Mighty Eighth and the National Museum of World War Two in the USA. They have both been several times. Highlights included a visit by the 130 members of the 95[th] Bomb Group Association, comprising volunteer staff, relatives and supports from the USA and Horham. A very special

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

day was when the 390[th] Memorial Museum came from Tucson as part of their first educational tour of the UK. We all hope that this will be repeated. This was a great opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones. It has led to a cementing of relationships between the two 390[th] Museums and provided more opportunities for active partnership.

We continue to maintain strong, active links with the relatives of veterans and enjoy showing them around. Such family visits have increased this year. Usually, we know in advance of their visit and our Archivist is invariably able to find interesting information about the airman. These family visits are often quite emotional, especially when it involves the children of those who served.

People have left us very positive comments in the visitors’ book. We continue to be highly rated on international visitor websites such as Tripadvisor and Google.

Trustees remain keen to encourage growth amongst visitors who are often underrepresented in our totals, especially those who do not travel by car. We have a steady number of cyclists and walkers. However, despite participating in European wide and Suffolk County initiatives, there has been little impact on numbers arriving on foot, by cycle or booked bus.

Outreach

The museum has again provided speakers to various local groups. We still need to involve more members in giving presentations.

The trustees recognise the importance of museums for the regional economy. Thus, we cooperate actively with organisations such as the Association of Suffolk Museums and Visit East. We are working with the 100[th] and 95[th] Bomb group Museums on several joint initiatives. Temporary display space was provided for another local museum when it was forced to delay opening for the season.

We were also represented at special events. Our volunteers have created new static displays for these purposes.

A bumper special edition newsletter for the year 2024 was produced thanks to a kind offer of editing by a supporter. We are now producing newsletters on a more regular basis.

Building Projects

During last winter the replica Watch Office was significantly refurbished. This involved demolishing much of the previous structure, which had reached the end of its life, and replacing it with one built to modern standards. Specialist contractors were employed where necessary but much of the work was done by utilising the skills and commitment of our volunteer team. It was fitted out and completed in time for opening in April. We have received positive feedback on the result.

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

Professional architects have been engaged to design two significant projects, submit them for planning permission and liaise with a consultant engineer to ensure they meet current building regulations.

One involves the demolition of two 1980s “temporary” store structures and their replacement with a Nissen Hut garage and store. The Nissen will look externally very like an original. The interior will appear fairly authentic too, although public access will not be permitted. Much of the demolition and construction will be done by our volunteer team. The context of this project is a need for more storage space and working facilities inside the main buildings. Planning permission has been secured.

The other is the addition of an extension on the side of the Moller Building. This will be part of the museum, accessed via the café, funded largely by the Charlie Cairnes Legacy. The building has been designed to the extent required for a planning application. Work continues on the detail of the structure and internal fit out. This new display area will contain the Bofors 40 mm AA gun which was generously gifted to the museum, together with various other artefacts and artwork. These will include a memorial exhibition to Charlie. The structure will be erected by specialist contractors and other works will be undertaken by contractors or volunteers as required.

Maintenance and Minor Improvement Projects

Weekly working parties are held throughout the year.

Most practical tasks such as cleaning, painting, gardening or improving displays are done by our team of volunteers. We are extremely grateful for their time and commitment.

Considerable time and effort have been spent on converting the old store in the chapel into a wartime parlour, probably in a simple cottage somewhere near the airbase. The structural work and decorating are complete. It looks very authentic.

The servicing of specialist electrical equipment such as that for heating, security, or safety is monitored to a schedule. Where necessary, specialist contractors are used.

Collections Management

We have formally commenced our three-year period towards being an Arts Council accredited museum. This began with the granting of “working towards” status. During this phase, we are gaining much benefit from the support and advice provided by our approved mentor, Fraser Hale. It is likely that our submission for accredited status will be made during 2026.

We have completed our Collections Conservation and Care Framework, a necessary step for our accreditation submission. This consists of three policies covering Collections, Acquisitions and Disposals, Care and Conservation and Documentation. These policies set out our objectives and standards for the care and recording of our collection and bring us in line with the international SPECTRUM guidelines. To support the policies, we have operational plans

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

and procedures for care and conservation and documentation of our collection. These describe how our curatorial team will operate to meet the objectives and standards set out in the policies. All volunteers are welcome to assist our curators with the care and management of our collection.

The museum has acquired a scanner that will assist us to digitise our archive of photographs and historical documents. This will ensure that our unique archive is preserved and will enable volunteers and external researchers to access some material remotely. We are currently learning to use the scanner and employ best museum practice with the digitisation project. We will start the project by identifying the more vulnerable archive material from the airside and BRO sections for digitisation.

The project that began in 2023 to expand the database of accessioned items to include location, condition and maintenance needs continues. Records of donations received by our airside and BRO sections have been entered onto the database. The location of approximately 50% of our overall entries is recorded. We anticipate that this project will take a further 2-3 years to complete. Our current acquisition and documentation procedures are line with the SPECTRUM guidelines for good museum practice. We will continue to operate using these guidelines during and beyond our application for accredited status.

We have completed an inventory and condition check of objects located in the control tower rear store. Artefacts have been identified and will be checked for entry on our accession data base. There are some uniforms currently in the store and we will move these to a more stable temperature and humidity environment during our closed season.

Our curatorial team and volunteers will complete a thorough condition check of our most vulnerable exhibits including uniforms and leather artefacts. Remedial care will be undertaken where necessary to ensure good condition is maintained. Our firearms and bladed weapons will also undergo the annual inspection and any necessary conservation work undertaken.

Looking ahead, our aim is to ensure that all items that have been in storage for many years are on or will be entered onto the collections database. In addition, work will continue to complete the database to record the location and condition for all items in PAM.

We will complete the parlour project for April 2026 by ‘furnishing’ the room with exhibits from the wartime period. We have several suitable items in storage.

We will continue to improve and update our displays, developing themes with clear and concise labelling. We will also investigate rotation of some displays to enable visitors to see more of our collection.

The 390[th] and Air War Collections

Further objects were offered and accepted by the museum during the year. Following a recent excavation, Cotswold Archaeology donated relics from a B17 that crashed in the vicinity of Sudbourne. We will prepare these for display with existing artefacts that we have from this

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

crash. It has been an honour to receive these items, since the excavation team is in part made up of military veterans. Also, the project is part of a US federal agency’s efforts to continue the search for the remains of those missing in action.

Throughout the year, we have continued to work to improve and update our displays. A new display for this year was a draft poster describing the roles played by American women in WW2. We aim to produce a permanent display board alongside some Women’s WW2 uniforms in the annexe to the Moller building once complete.

Further research has provided more information about the contribution of African Americans to victory, in particular their role as part of the “friendly invasion” of East Anglia. This has been depicted in an additional display board in the Moller corridor.

In the Spring, we loaned some of our artefacts in store to Barratts of Woodbridge to help with their window display commemorating the VE day 80th anniversary. Feedback was very positive and it raised the profile of the museum in the town.

Whilst sorting one of our outside stores we located some major components from B17 Wright Cyclone engines. These will be cleaned and made safe for display with our other engineering exhibits. Meanwhile the Bofors gun is being restored so that whilst still being deactivated, parts removed have been replaced and it appears as guns of that type would have been during the war.

The 390[th ] aspects of the museum were again well represented at IWM Duxford events, with displays and a few key items for sale.

The British Resistance Organisation

2025 was a very successful year for visitors, helped by the number of school visits and increased exposure on social media. The number of enquiries and research requests continues to be encouraging with six descendants of Operational Patrol members making themselves known to us. Whilst these descendants were all from East Anglia and were aware of family connections several other visitors expressed an interest in following up their local area via staybehinds.com.

The Curator gave four talks during the year to History and Probus groups as well as to two churches, one raising funds for church repairs and one to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the end of World War 2. The Chair gave a presentation to a group of master mariners. The Assistant Curator and the Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team's (CART) Suffolk researcher, joined the Curator for the Anniversary talk where several descendants identified themselves. These talks have helped to spread the story of the Auxiliary Units and encouraged groups to arrange visits to Parham. We now have a display board telling the story of the AU's which can be adapted to local requirements and will be used to enhance talks and for external visits.

In preparation for accreditation by the Arts Council the BRO curatorial team have been cataloguing the artefacts held and organising the files dedicated to each county.

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

There is now a display folder which records the Curator’s summer 2024 tour to the Poitiers area to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the attack on the Operation Bulbasket camp and the subsequent murder of the SAS men and the USAAF Mustang pilot captured in the attack.

In September the Assistant Curator was at Coleshill for their 1940s day. The museum and CART were the principal exhibitors in telling the story of the Auxiliary Units. The day proved very successful with the National Trust Manager being delighted with the numbers attending.

Will Ward from CART has continued to be supportive of the museum and been a great help in answering some of the questions raised by visitors and via emails.

Archives and Library

The Airmen project is still an ongoing part of the Archivist’s research role. This is our effort to obtain a photograph and other information about everyone who lost their life flying with the 390[th] from Framlingham. Some of the photos feature in our memorial chapel. It also provides the “airman of the month” pages in the newsletter.

More details, pictures and memories are coming to light via the internet and with the interest in the recent series ‘Masters of the Air’.

Requests for details of an airman’s missions, aircraft and military paperwork continue to be forthcoming via email, Facebook and personal visit. We can usually satisfy these requests and regularly receive further details in reply to add to our archive.

The daily postings of life on the base on Facebook and X, which always seem to raise a ‘sad face’ or a ‘smile’ are ongoing. We may even venture into other media platforms in the future.

The library has had a cull of books that were not part of our collections policy which has freed up more room to house our growing collection of relevant books and archive material.

Volunteers and Voting Membership

The more formal process for the recruitment, induction and probation of new volunteers has been successfully introduced.

Having defined “active membership” last year, we regularly review our list of voting members in accordance with our policy, to ensure is up to date. The museum year began with 50 voting members, 43 active and 7 life. From the meeting of trustees held 12[th] July 2025, there were 48 members in total, of which 40 were active and 8 life members. In addition, there are 7 volunteers who are just commencing their volunteering or not currently very active.

We are proud to have increased our number of children volunteering to 5, 3 of whom are on the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. We continue to provide a regular work experience

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

opportunity for a vulnerable adult too. Volunteers in these categories are always accompanied by their parent/carer.

The museum has an ongoing need for volunteers to assist in all areas. Current priorities for recruitment are for work in the café/shop. We are also hoping to develop more staff to the point where they feel able to assume responsibility as Duty Officer.

Health and Safety

There have been no serious accidents or injuries involving volunteers or the public. We maintain a comprehensive risk assessment which is updated regularly and reviewed annually by the Chair, Maintenance and Safety Leads before being reported to Trustees. Related, focused risk assessments are prepared for special events and building projects. These and relevant guidance are shared with organised groups as appropriate to assist with their own planning.

Our Safety Policy has been significantly updated along with the Emergency Plan.

A First Aid course is scheduled for March 2026 to ensure that we continue to have sufficient volunteers trained and up to date with their qualification.

Data Protection

There have been no requests, enquiries, or significant incidents regarding data protection.

Insurance

Our insurance has been maintained to cover the buildings and displays together with third party liability. We have additional cover for trustee liability, building operations and off-site exhibitions.

Shop and Café

These continue to be a major asset. Our priority with the café is to keep prices low, conscious of the pressure on household budgets and the need to be accessible to as many people as possible. There is a brisk trade in inexpensive memorabilia and visitors often like to acquire some of our new range of clothing. Income from the sale of second-hand books is useful too.

Overall cash flow projections for the next few years indicate that we should aim to increase revenue from the shop to assist in continuing our programme of improvements alongside major build projects.

Broadband

We continue to benefit from a free, reliable broadband service provided by Fram Broadband. Their generous support is much appreciated.

09 02 2026 v1 PJS

B17 Solar Farm

Work on this project has again been postponed. This should not interfere with the work of the museum regarding access or amenity; the fields immediately adjacent to our buildings will not be affected.

The Coming Year

We will continue with our core task, ensuring that new generations are aware of the sacrifices made to defend freedom and defeat the Nazis.

Our objectives are set out and progress monitored in our business development plan. The main improvement priorities will be those arising from this report, in particular:

Maintaining visitor numbers and seeking some growth, particularly amongst those groups who are less represented.
Opening the parlour project for viewing by visitors from April 2026.
Building the Nissen Hut Store.
Securing planning permission for the Moller extension then getting it built at least to the stage of internal fit out.
Submitting our application to the Arts Council for accredited museum status.
Continuing to improve the recording, maintenance and presentation of artefacts.
Raising more per head in donations from our daily visitors and increasing take up of Gift Aid.
Increasing income from the shop.
Recruiting additional active volunteers and finding ways to increase the number of staff willing and able to serve in the shop and café or assume the Duty Officer role.

Finally…..

The Trustees wish to express their sincere thanks to all those who have helped the museum during the year, either with donations of money, gifting artefacts or giving of their time. Thank you all for your strong support.

Agreed by trustees on Saturday 21[st] February 2026
