Aerospace Bristol (Concorde museum) visit and DO | 24 Feb 2018
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...df679cde07.jpg
Aerospace Bristol Banner (copyright Aerospace Bristol) As the title says, an FT BA DO in Bristol, with an afternoon visit to the Aerospace Bristol museum (including Concorde) if enough interest can be garnered! Saturday, the 24th Feb. 2018 is the date to put in your calendar for the DO, as it is easier for me to organise then and it means people can arrive on the day or stay for the weekend. Dates that were proposed for the DO were the following three and more people wanted the 24th than any other date... 6th Jan. 2018 or 20th Jan. 2018 or 24th Feb. 2018. Please post your interest in attending the DO / museum tour if you can make the 24th Feb. 2018 date. I know that these are quite early in the new year and likely people wondering why this date in Feb? Well, they are before an half term dates, they are dates I am available! and it would be a great way to break up the Winter blues! I'm suggesting we meet at Aerospace Bristol at 13:00 on the day, have an organised tour of the museum (which can be arranged but minimum group size is 20 people), and then later that evening meet up for a nice evening meal and some drinks in the city centre. Entrance to the museum is £ 15 / person (including guided tour if we have 20 people) or £ 10 (if we don't have guided tour but still need 20 people) or if the group is smaller than that, it is the normal entrance fee of £ 15 / person, which lets you come back as many times as you wish for up to a year from the date on the ticket. I live local to Bristol so can help with queries. More details on hotels, transport, etc...to follow... Some pictures to whet the appetite: (from a visit to the museum I did today) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e4e51dbee5.jpg Concorde Poster https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cbe807b8fa.jpg Concorde G-BOAF https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1da20a334c.jpg View from the BotB! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2ada35fc09.jpg Many People Love Concorde Display https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a4dde00c11.jpg Concorde Food and Drink Items https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8e8b6c986a.jpg Concorde display https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d04b00bb58.jpg Concorde Seats https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5491b96e3b.jpg Bristol F2B Fighter https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3968f85bda.jpg Lovely Display https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...438355cb4e.jpg Harrier and Engine https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4af723ede5.jpg Jupiter, the first Bristol Engine https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d33d78f240.jpg Bullet Poster https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8f7fd34885.jpg Concorde Pilots are rare indeed! |

Obviously, I've not included everything the museum has to offer on display, that would ruin things! So, these are teasers, there are some lovely additional bits for both the Bristol historical aspect as well as the Concorde hanger area I've not posted pictures about. You can indeed board G-BOAF and have a look around. You can walk around her on the ground as well as on an elevated mezzanine.
Hoping this will find resonance for a DO. In any case, the museum is well worth a visit if you happen to be in Bristol. Look forward to seeing if there is interest. Discuss! |
The 6th January or 24th Feb would be ideal for me.
I would 100% be up for this |
Thank you for organising this BotB ^
Whilst I am pretty well booked up early next year already, I should be able to change a few things and come if it is on 20 January - the other two dates wouldn’t be possible for me unfortunately. |
Count me in!
6 Jan or 24 Feb work for me :-) |
Well done for organising this BotB ^
20th January would be good for me but the other 2 I won't be able to make it. I'd probably just come for the Do and not the Concorde tour. |
Damn. Just booked a flight back from LHR to BSL on 20th before seeing this. I am highly interested, so might be able to rebook the flight to the 21st. So please note me down as a maybe and interested for the 20th.
|
I’m in on any of the three dates.
|
Me & my hubbie can do 24.02. Count us in!!
|
Love to see Concorde
I would love to attend, but honestly none of those dates are possible for me.
At present June is about the earliest for me. |
Yup I am in. Close to home 😀
|
Dont normally do DOs but this seems a lovely idea
6/1 too soon after new year break but other dates good |
20 January would be best for me, but nothing blocking any of these yet.
|
I'd be interested if it was on the 24th Feb :), or later in the year.
