Introduction
Welcome to the Speke Aerodrome Heritage Groups (SAHG Registered Charity 1106923) collection which is situated on the apron of the original Liverpool Speke airport. The site celebrated its 90th aniversary in July 2023, and the Grade II* listed terminal building has been transformed into a fantastic 'art deco' style hotel currently under the Crowne Plaza banner. This website has been designed to provide visitors to our collection with some brief background information on each of our exhibits currently on display. It does not attempt to recount the history of the airport, which has already been well documented in publications such as Phil Butlers excellent book,  Liverpool Airport - An illustrated History, now in its third edition.

The group replies exclusively on the generocity of visitors and the general public for funding and in these difficult financial times it is gratifying that we continue to not only survive, but to progress with the preservation of artefacts of aviation which would otherwise be lost to us should they disapear forever.

Our group of volunteers assemble each weekend, (usually on a Saturday) come rain or shine are all extremely proud of the efforts that have been made since the Jetstream first arrived on the apron back in 2003. Although this website gives most of the information you would need, if you have any further questions please feel free to drop us an email, or if you are on site just ask any of our members, they really are a friendly bunch and if they dont know the answer, they will find someone that does.

We hope you enjoy your visit, and look forward to welcoming you to our collection.
