The Historic Aircraft Association (HAA) was founded in 1979 with the aim of furthering the safe flying of historic aircraft in the UK and, later on, supporting the restoration and preservation of these aircraft.

The Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom (RAeC) is the national co-ordinating body for Air Sport in the United Kingdom.

The Vintage Aircraft Club aims to keep old aircraft in the air through a variety of flying and social events throughout the year.

The principal activities of the Guild are centred on sponsoring and encouraging action and activities designed to ensure that aircraft are piloted and navigated safely by aviators who are highly competent, self-reliant, dependable and respected. The Guild fosters the sound education and training of air pilots and air navigators from the initial training of the young pilot to the specialist training of the more mature.
