Jet Age Museum,
Gloucester
After visiting the Cotswold Motor Museum we headed to the
Jet Age Museum, Gloucester next to Staverton Airport. The museum a smaller than
some we visited but run from donations by volunteers and with free admission
(donations requested) it is worth a visit especially being able to sit within
an Avro
Vulcan Bombers cockpit which is a little small and cramped but very
interesting.
Within the museum there are a number of exhibits including
Britain’s first jet fighter, the Meteor and a Javlin. Unfortunately you cannot
see all the aircraft including a replica of the first jet plane produced in
Gloucester as a number of the Aircraft are in storage waiting for their new
building to be completed. I look forward to re-visiting once they move to their
new premises.
The volunteers who are guides and help restore the aircraft
are extremely friendly, helpful and informative and I after speaking with them
I agreed to donate a copy of my photographs to them for use for promotional
material once I have completed my college project. A selection of my photographs is below.
