Focus on Filton

Filton Community History and Aerospace Bristol

Gloucestershire Archives preserve 69 oral history interviews taken by Filton Community History Group as part of the BAC 100:2010 project. (Bristol Aeroplane Company)

The BAC 100:2010 project took place in 2010/11. Click the photo above to visit the website.

Gloucestershire Archives staff downloaded and transferred 4 of these interviews (appropriate permissions in place) so they can be used in the Bristol Aerospace Centre’s exhibition space.  The oral history stations are in each era of the museum with a transcript next to each station.  The stations will be a permanent feature and the archivist Zoe Watson, hopes to add more people, or change the people from time to time, to keep the social history elements of the exhibition fresh. 

Gloucestershire Heritage Hub partners wish our colleagues at Aerospace Bristol every success with their forthcoming opening.
