Curators are inviting seasoned Liverpool holiday makers to help research a community display bound for the new Museum of Liverpool's Global City gallery, opening in 2011.

Come fly with me - a people's history of Liverpool Airport will uncover people's experiences and memories from the 1930s to today, using their souvenirs, photographs and personal accounts to tell the story of Speke Airport.

How to get involved

Curators would like to chat to people who have used the airport any time from the 1930s onwards to gather as much information as possible.

People with memories to share, or photographs and souvenirs bought on holidays flying from the airport, are invited to get in touch.

The display is going to be made up of objects and memories from the local community, so please let us know if you could offer anything suitable. We'd love to include an authentic 'straw donkey' souvenir if possible!

For further details please email Victoria Newberry or contact her on 0151 478 4067.

You can also share your memories and photos on our Come fly with me Facebook page.
