The Assault Glider Trust is always in need of manpower, parts, and funds. The method of construction of the Horsa, which is mostly wood, results in tasks that can be completed by both skilled and non-skilled volunteers. The Waco, Dakota and Tiger Moth present further challenges and the opportunity to work with metal and fabric. Training will be provided as required. If you live anywhere near to the project base, Royal Air Force Shawbury in Shropshire, and would like to help with the work on any of the Trust aircraft, please contact the Trust by Email. If you think that you might know the whereabouts of possible aircraft parts, we would be most interested to hear from you.

Donations

Whilst the Trust depends heavily on committed individuals giving up their time to support the project, it is inevitable that significant funding is needed to see the project through to completion.

The trust needs financial support to buy tools and materials, aircraft parts, and to fund work that cannot be completed in-house. The trust is most grateful to existing sponsors for the donation of parts and materials, and for assistance with the manufacture of heavier metal components.

Corporate donors are most welcome to assist with the project, and will receive recognition on the site. The Trust is particularly interested in receiving donations from companies who have a historical connection with wartime aircraft production, or with aircraft production in general. Donations to charity may be able to be offset against corporation tax.

Should you wish to make a donation to the project, cheques should be made payable to The Assault Glider Account.

Individual donors who pay UK Income Tax may complete a Gift Aid Declaration and a sum equal to 28% of their donation may be recovered by the trust from the Inland Revenue. The Gift Aid Declaration is available for download and printing, either as a MS Word Document, or in PDF format. Please click on the appropriate link below:
