GROUP VISITS

CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF CONCORDE Step aboard Concorde and embark upon a fascinating journey through aviation history

aerospacebristol.org

Take off on an unforgettable journey Starting in the earliest days of powered flight, Aerospace Bristol will whisk your group away on an immersive journey through more than a century of incredible aviation achievements and fascinating tales of human endeavour.

From bold pioneers taking to the skies in their magnificent flying machines, to the remarkable men and women who played their part in two world wars, to those who dreamed a seemingly-impossible dream of supersonic travel: then created the iconic Concorde to turn that dream into reality.

Step aboard the last Concorde The stunning centrepiece of your visit will be Concorde Alpha Foxtrot: the last of the iconic supersonic passenger jets to be built and the last to y.

Capable of crossing the Atlantic in under three hours, Concorde cruised at over twice the speed of sound and reached an altitude of 60,000ft. Her passengers would marvel at the curvature of the Earth and look up at a blue-black sky, as they travelled at 1320mph and sipped Champagne on the edge of space.

Located at the entrance to the museum, we offer a range of quality souvenir and gift items inspired by our collection, including books, cards, models, toys and much more.

Accessibility Aerospace Bristol is committed to providing the best possible experience for all visitors. The museum is set over two buildings and the site is fully accessible by those using wheelchairs. However, Concorde was sadly not designed with easy access in mind and has a very narrow aisle between the seats. The museum has wheelchairs freely available for visitor use and pre-booking is advisable.

Aerospace Bristol offers free entry for dedicated carers and guide and assistance dogs are welcome. The museum has wheelchair accessible lifts, easy access toilets, and disabled changing facilities.

Did you know?

Concorde regularly flew supersonic experience flights over the Bay of Biscay.

Her oldest passenger, Eva Woodman from Bristol, enjoyed one of these scenic round-trips from Filton aged 105
