Whether you are preparing for a summer of airshows, looking for the perfect gift ahead of Father's Day, or simply want to wear your support for the Royal Air Force or NASA space missions, your kit bag needs an upgrade.
At the Air Force Gift Shop, we don't just sell apparel—we curate heritage. Every item in our shop is officially licensed, ensuring that when you wear our gear, you are wearing an authentic piece of history. Below is our curated list of must-have items for the 2026 season.
1. NASA 2026 Collection: The New Frontier
Space exploration is hitting a new peak in 2026, and our new NASA range is the best way to show you’re keeping track of the mission.

The "Worm" vs. "Meatball": Whether you prefer the sleek, modernist aesthetic of the 1970s "Worm" or the classic historical significance of the "Meatball" emblem, we have you covered. These pieces are designed for the modern enthusiast who values both style and history.
2. Official RAF Headwear
A long day at an airshow is no place for a generic cap. Our officially licensed RAF headwear is structured for durability and sun protection.

The Detail: With precise embroidery of iconic RAF crests and roundels, these caps are built to last through the entire airshow season, from the English Riviera to the Guernsey Air Display.
3. Hangar-Ready Accessories
Our range of accessories is packed with something for everyone. There's a wide selection of items ranging from backpacks all the way through to aluminium water bottles.

Pro-Tip: Pair your aluminium bottle with our pencil cases, notebooks and backpacks to keep your kit organised and all in one place. We have an extensive range of excellent, affordable gifts for the aviation enthusiast who wants everything to remain uniform.
