National Museum of Flight Survey

Scotinform, an independent research agency based in Edinburgh are currently undertaking some work for the National Museum of Flight, gathering the views and opinions of people who live in the area to help shape the Museum’s future.

An online survey has been prepared to ask residents about their experiences of National Museum of Flight, and to see whether they would be interested in some of the ideas and activities being explored. All responses will be treated in confidence and if received by 5 March 2021 will be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 e-voucher for a retailer of your choice.

The link to the survey is here:

They are keen to speak with as many residents as possible. Please complete the survey and forward to other residents and groups who might like to respond.
