Aerospace Bristol Prepares for VE Day 80th Anniversary Celebration

Volunteers at Aerospace Bristol are putting the finishing touches on the Bristol Bolingbroke aircraft ahead of its rollout of the Conservation Workshop, taking place on Sunday 4th and Monday 5th May.

The event is part of Spirit of '45, a special Bank Holiday weekend celebration marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Visitors will be invited to step back to 1945 with live music, dancing, family activities, and stories from the historic Filton site.

Alongside the Bolingbroke, guests can explore the newly launched Filton Blitz Experience, enjoy a lively street party atmosphere, and are encouraged to dress in their best 1940s attire.
