The Guild of Aviation Artists was formed in 1971 and is recognised throughout the world for the promotion of aviation art.   The paintings on display in the Art Gallery have been specially selected to demonstrate the variety and scope of members’ work. They represent 100 years of the Royal Air Force in its centenary year.   The paintings on display are all for sale and the RAF Museum receives a commission from sales.
