**[The Royal Air Forces Museum](http://www.rafmuseum.org) is offering the public
the opportunity to have their names written on a Red Arrow in a campaign to help
it raise the last £8m of a £23m fundraising target.**

[Names on a Plane](https://namesonaplane.org/) asks people to donate any amount 
from a minimum of £30, or to choose from five naming packages, ranging from £30,
up to a £25,000 donation. Their names will be written on the wings of one of the
RAF Red Arrows Hawk Jets, which will fly throughout the 2017 display season, as 
well as displayed on the digital wall in the Members Room at the RAF Museum.

The campaign aims to raise £2m and supports the museum’s RAF Centenary Programme,
which will see the RAF Museum celebrate and commemorate the centenary of the Royal
Air Force in 2018, through a major transformation of its visitor experience at its
London site, and by sharing the RAF story on site and online. The museum needs to
raise £23m to pay for its plans and has so far raised £15m.

The multi-million-pound transformation of the RAF Museum’s London home will reflect
the historic RAF Hendon airfield, with new galleries exploring the first 100 years
of the RAF, its roles today and inviting visitors to imagine its future contribution
and technology. A digital sharing project will also connect people to the RAF story.

Squadron Leader David Montenegro, Red 1 and Team Leader of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic
Team, the Red Arrows, said:

> “Through the Names on a Plane campaign, thousands of people will be joining us
> as the Red Arrows fly in 2017, displaying to millions of people. The Museum’s 
> Centenary Programme will transform its London site, providing an enduring legacy
> for the Royal Air Force. This development will help to tell the story of the Royal
> Air Force and the vital roles the Service continues to provide, such as securing
> the skies of the United Kingdom, every hour of the day, 365 days a year.”
