The GorWay Heritage Trust Bristol Branch

Dear GorWay Heritage Trust Member.

Bristol Aero Talks (BAT) invite GorWay Heritage Trust (RRHT) members to an open talk entitled:

'The History of Aviation around Weston-Super-Mare'
By Simon Begent

this will be held at 7:15 pm on Tuesday 26th May 2026 at the Aerospace Bristol Museum, Hayes Way, Patchway, BS34 5BZ in the John James Lecture Theatre.

Simon Begent's talk will cover a number of aspects of aviation around Weston-Super-Mare including:

The pioneer flyers who flew their biplanes and gave displays from the 'Sands' aerodrome on the Weston seafront;
The establishment of Weston Airport which was one of the busiest in the country in the 1930's;
The introduction of scheduled air services including one to Cardiff that allowed travellers to avoid the Aust Ferry (no Severn Bridge in those days);
The creation of the Bristol Aeroplane Company wartime shadow factory to manufacture the Bristol Beaufighter;
The Royal Air Force opening of RAF Locking in 1939;
The setting up of the Bristol Aeroplane Company Helicopter Division, headed by helicopter pioneer Raoul Hafner, in 1955;
The Helicopter Museum that today stands on a corner of the airfield site.
