Year 5 pupils from Redstart Primary School recently had an extraordinary educational experience at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, where they explored the rich history of naval aviation and got up close with iconic aircraft.
The Fleet Air Arm Museum, the largest naval aviation museum in Europe, features four exhibition halls that showcase the evolution of flight, from historic aircraft to cutting-edge technology.
During their visit, pupils toured the museum’s vast collection, which includes more than 90 aircraft, two million historical records, and 30,000 artefacts.
One of the highlights of the trip was touring inside the very first world-famous Concorde, a marvel of aviation engineering that continues to captivate audiences.
Adding to the immersive experience, pupils had the opportunity to dress in Fleet Air Arm uniforms, bringing history to life as they imagined the roles of naval aviators throughout the years.
A spokesperson said: “It was incredible to see our pupils so engaged and inspired by the exhibits,”
“The hands-on learning experience really helped bring history to life, and I know this trip will leave a lasting impression on them.”
