I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Bristol Aerospace Museum, and I must say, it was an incredible experience that took me on a captivating journey through the fascinating world of aviation history. Located in a charming setting, the museum offers a blend of educational exhibits and awe-inspiring artifacts that will undoubtedly appeal to aviation enthusiasts and curious minds alike. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a remarkable collection of aircraft spanning various eras, each one meticulously preserved and accompanied by insightful narratives. The museum's dedication to preserving the heritage of aviation is evident in the attention to detail displayed in the arrangement of exhibits. One of the highlights of my visit was the interactive displays that allowed me to experience the feeling of being inside a cockpit and trying my hand at flight simulation. It was both educational and entertaining, providing a deeper understanding of the challenges and marvels of aviation. The museum's staff was knowledgeable and eager to share information, which added to the overall enriching experience. Another highlight was, of course, the most tested plane in history and the last Concorde that flew. Seeing the plane up close and being able to go inside and see what it was like to fly in one back then- amazing. I also come to appreciate the amount of work the engineers and scientists put into their craft and producing these brilliant inventions during such a critical time in history. Inventions that laid the groundwork for all the modern technology we have now. The Bristol Aerospace Museum also delved into the human stories behind aviation, showcasing the courage of pilots, the innovation of engineers, and the determination of explorers. I was particularly moved by the tribute to the pioneers who paved the way for modern aviation. The museum's layout is well-organized, making it easy to navigate and fully immerse oneself in the exhibits. The attention to historical accuracy and the dedication to preserving aviation heritage are evident throughout the museum's halls. In conclusion, the Bristol Aerospace Museum offers an exceptional journey through aviation history that captivates visitors of all ages. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for an engaging and educational experience, this museum is a must-visit. I left with a renewed appreciation for the progress of flight and the remarkable individuals who have shaped its course.

I’m an aviation nut anyway, so my review will be slightly biased I’m afraid. The Bristol Aero Company has an interesting and varied history, boasting connections with many famous and iconic aircraft. With the whole collection being very interesting, Concorde G-BOAF is by far the jewel in the crown, and following her being parked up outside for over a decade, she’s been brought indoors finally, into a state of the art hangar / showroom / building, and there are many friendly helpful staff available to help to tell stories and share experiences of their involvement with this beautiful aeroplane. With your entry ticket giving you unlimited returns within a year, you can come back as often as you like to get your supersonic fix. A lovely cafe on site, offering beverages, snacks and light meals, we did find it a little pricey, but assume that any profits made are funnelled back into the upkeep of this great source of historic information for the immediate area, and the aviation world in general. A restoration hangar gives guests a chance to see various aircraft and artefacts being lovingly restored by skilled volunteers, who are happy to explain what’s going on, and give an interesting insight into what they are currently doing. We spent just over four hours on site, but could have seen everything within two hours or so, but it would be easy to lose oneself for a day without too much work!! The only thing I did find so very sad is just how much of this historic airfield has been split up, knocked down and built on. It was at the centre of some of the most innovative and game changing stages in our (The UK’s) aviation industry, it would have been nice to have seen the whole site treated with the care and affection of its exhibits!!

I'd always wanted to see Concorde as it was a magnificent piece of British/French craftsmanship. The museum was easy to get to being located on the outskirts of Bristol. The car park has plenty of space but as we went on Easter Friday, it was quite quiet. The main entrance has a museum behind it containing the history of Bristol and the role the airport played during the war. The are many historical planes there and at certain times during the day there talks held by staff to give further insight about the planes, etc. The cafeteria is quite large and has plenty of cold & hot food choice. It is very clean and there are plenty of staff on hand. There is also outdoor seating in the open or under a small canopy. Concorde is located in another building which is a short walk behind the main building. As you walk through the doors, you can see the plane in all its glory, there was some light projected on to the plane to celebrate its history. The staff on hand were very welcoming and helped answer many of my questions regarding the history of Concorde. I was able to take alot of pictures from inside the hanger and the inside/outside of the plane. There is also a seperate room which shows test parts and mock ups of the plane, past uniforms worn by the crew, details of the menus and cutlery used. You can take your time and explore or sit and admire the breathtaking view of Concorde. The good thing about the ticket is that it is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase so you can go as many times as you like to the museum.
