Aerospace Bristol Commemorates VE Day with ‘Spirit of ’45’ Event

This weekend, Aerospace Bristol is marking VE Day with Spirit of ’45, a special event bringing the spirit and atmosphere of the 1940s to life.

Sunday saw the debut of the brand-new Filton Blitz Experience, offering an immersive look at Bristol during the Second World War and a visit to the restored air raid shelter.

Visitors also enjoyed a performance by Filton Concert Brass, 1940s-themed games, a chance to explore the rolled-out Bolingbroke aircraft, and traditional cream teas and sweets.

The celebrations continue tomorrow with even more activities, including Lindy Hop dance classes, face painting, an appearance by “Winston Churchill” and a Bank Holiday BBQ.
