Lashenden Air Warfare Museum is working in partnership with the Veterens Operating Base, VOB
VOB is a veteran run organisation who help us with general work around the Museum. We offer the Armed Forces Veterans a number of working opportunities including small jobs to take away to their workshop near Maidstone or they can help out our staff with other jobs at the Museum itself.
