Aerospace Bristol is celebrating its 1st birthday today. Situated on the historic Filton Airfield, the museum opened its doors twelve months ago and has quickly established itself as one of Bristol\u2019s must-see family attractions. A remarkable 160,000 people have already visited Aerospace Bristol; embarking upon a journey through more than a century of Bristol\u2019s aerospace achievements and stepping aboard the last Concorde ever to fly.<\/p>\n
Lloyd Burnell, Executive Director of Aerospace Bristol, said: \u201cWe always knew there was huge enthusiasm and passion for Concorde, and great pride in our aerospace heritage, but the incredible number of visitors \u2013 160,000 in just twelve months – and the fantastic feedback we\u2019ve received, has exceeded all expectations. We\u2019re now looking forward to the next phase of the museum\u2019s development and to celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Concorde flight in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aerospace Bristol is planning a year-long \u2018Concorde50\u2019 celebration, with a programme of special events, opportunities to share Concorde memories, and the chance to support the charity in its mission to inspire the next generation of engineers.<\/p>\n
Over 6,000 schoolchildren have already taken part in the museum\u2019s national curriculum-linked science, technology and engineering workshops, with younger visitors also enjoying fun children\u2019s trails around the exhibition, hands-on interactive exhibits, and even an aviation-themed outdoor play area.<\/p>\n
