Background
History
The REME Museum started in 1958 in Arborfield, Berkshire, in two rooms of Moat House, the former commander's accommodation of the Arborfield Army Remount Service Depot. Over time, the museum moved to a neighbouring building and expanded to allow more objects and vehicles to be displayed. The former Royal Air Force Officers' Mess of RAF Lyneham was modified to provide a new home for the museum, which allowed a complete refresh of the displays and layout. The new museum opened to the public in June 2017.
