Talk / Audio
Gosport Discovery Centre, Mezzanine Floor, High Street, Gosport, PO12 1BT
Britain has played a major role in the development of both military and civil aviation. This presentation, illustrated with film clips from the historic FAST Film Archive, looks at the remarkable, and often daring, work of the scientists, engineers and test pilots from the Royal Aircraft Establishment and the aircraft they flew. Starting with the very early days of flight, and spanning the 20th century, this talk features a unique look at Britain’s aviation heritage. It has been specially devised for Heritage Open Days, and includes highlights from the full series of FAST Film Archive Heritage Presentations including the research and development of Military Aviation, Flight-The Human Factor, Test Pilots, Civil Aviation and Accident Investigation. Also features collaborative work with the Institute of Naval Medicine here in Gosport as well as various trials and tribulations that took place locally in the development of British aviation.
Presented by Ashley Morgan, Archivist of the FAST Film Archive.
