P7 take to the skies in the Museum of Flight

After fundraising for the coach, P7 finally made the trip to Museum of Flight to learn about flying with the RAF in WW2. We also had the opportunity to find out about the Concorde and explore the inside of one!

 

 

Jerry “National Flight of Museum had loads of information. Seeing the Concorde for the first time was amazing. Another highlight for me has to be learning about WW1 and WW2 aircraft.”

 

Keira – “I loved the National Museum of Flight because I got to go on the Concorde for the first time. Fantastic Flight was great because there were lots of games inside, e.g. learning about air pressure and how it works.”

 

Jude “I really enjoyed it because I love history and I didn’t know much about military history. Also, getting to see not just aircraft, but seeing bombs, rockets, and handling objects from WW2, e.g. a pilot’s bomber jacket”. 

Sana “My first impression was ‘wow’!!! I was speechless because of how big the Concorde was. Seeing all the WW2 planes brought history to life.

Finn “The experience was amazing because I learned lots more facts about WW2 aircraft. My favourite part was when I was in the Simulator for the R34 and safely landed the airship.”

 

Oliwia “I really enjoyed it because I really like history and I learned a lot of facts about the aircraft such as the RAF and what the pilot wore when flying, i.e. a heavy sheepskin and leather jacket.”  

 

Sipun “Going to the Museum provided me with a great experience as I got to see some WW2 aircraft and learned more about them. Did you know that when the Nazi plane The Comet took off, the wheels dropped off so it bounced off the ground which was highly dangerous. The pilot was sitting directly over the engine.”

Finlay “I thought that the Museum was fascinating because it was my first time ever on the Concorde. Also I learned about WW1 and WW2 such as the aircraft.

Emily “I was absolutely thrilled to go to the Museum because it was a bit of history. Every single plane represented a fragment of what has happened in the past. It was amazing being learning about how technology has developed since early flying days in the early 20^th century.”

Lee “I enjoyed it because I learned about planes like the Concorde. Did you know that the Concorde flew twice the speed of sound.It travelled 1380mph and it took only 3 hours to fly from London to New York.”
