It occupies the former site of the Royal Air Force Station, RAF Doncaster.

The museum has also erected an more modern ex Air Training Corps Cadet Hut alongside Building 21 to house its World War Two Collection.

The YHPG display their collection of helicopters among the other SYAM exhibits and have an on-site workshop for continued restoration of their aircraft.

Many of the exhibits have been painstakingly restored by volunteers, notably the Avro Vulcan B.2 XL388 cockpit section, Bristol Sycamore HR.14 XE317, Gloster Meteor T.7 WA667 and Cessna 150 G-AVAA.

These aircraft listed below are significant to the aviation history of the Doncaster Area having flown from local airfields.
