Cambridge Industrial Archaeology Society's November talk takes to the skies!
David Hands of Duxford Aviation Society Museum will present an overview of the changes in the passenger travel experience from the 1920’s to the present day, concentrating on the types of aircraft in service, what they offered the flying public and where they flew to. The talk will draw on the collections of the Museum which is based on the IWM’s Duxford site in south Cambridgeshire. It holds the most comprehensive collection of post-war British airliners in the world including iconic aircraft such as the de Havilland Comet 4, the Super VC10 and the Concorde. https://www.britairliners.org/?ref=
The talk will take place in the Pye Building at Cambridge Museum of Technology. Entrance on the night is via the Museum’s Cheddars Lane gate.
There will be free light refreshments courtesy of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMECHE)
Tickets for the talk are available on the door for £5 a head, £3 for students. Members and Volunteers of Cambridge Museum of Technology can attend for free.
