Today is the exact 100th anniversary of the founding of the founding of an aviation company in Bristol on 19 Feb 1910 by Sir George White.
An easyJet A319 was named in his honour.

Is that the same 100 years of Bristol mentioned in this thread from earlier today, http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=98073 ?!
I’m surprised that the Bristol Aero Collection haven’t laid on something special for this.

It mentions:
“Beginning of extended opening hours for ten days of special events at Bristol Aero Collection, Kemble”
Doesn’t say what the special events are though!

Apologies for that – same centenary!
My link is still valid for those interested.

Bristol Aero Collection is very much a part of the celebrations this year. The BAC 100 team are organising all the main events though, with help from many local organisations. It wouldn’t make sense to have everyone organising their own events without this co-ordination.

Ha! Thats what they think, after all ‘Possession is 9/10 of the Law’
With all the plates and signs with “Bristol” stamped all over her what court could dispute her rightfull owner…
I rest my case…
