THE Yorkshire Air Museum is calling for new volunteers to help it continue its success.

Consistently rated in the top 10 of things to do in York, the museum owes much of its popularity to the team of volunteer stewards and guides.

Museum guide Harry Welsh said: “I served in the Royal Air Force for many years, but a lot of our volunteer guides and stewards have no military background at all. In fact, while we welcome ex-military personnel, the most important skill that our volunteers have is communicating with visitors and helping people."

The museum stands on the site of former RAF Elvington in North Yorkshire, a former World War Two airfield used extensively by Allied bomber crews during the war.
