Places to see in ( Gloucester - UK ) Jet Age Museum
The Jet Age Museum is the trading name of the Gloucestershire Aviation Collection, an all-volunteer, charitable organisation dedicated to the preservation of Gloucestershire's aviation heritage.
Jet Age Museum is located on the north side of Gloucestershire Airport, between Gloucester and Cheltenham. It houses a number of aircraft, aero engines, cockpits and other related exhibits. It is themed on the early development of Jet aircraft, in particular the role played by the Gloster Aircraft Company and other local firms such as Dowty Rotol and Smiths Industries. The museum of Jet Age Museum are also custodians of Russell Adams photographic archive.
Jet Age Museum first opened to the public at the Gloucester Trading Estate, the former Brockworth aerodrome. With the aid of grants and public donations, it began to amass a collection of aircraft. The museum's first significant public opening began with a temporary exhibition in a hangar adjacent to Gloucestershire Airport. This had to close in 2000 after it was announced the former wartime hangar was to be demolished. The aircraft were dispersed to a number of locations in Gloucestershire including, briefly, at the former GAC 'shadow' factory at Bentham. A workshop was established at Brockworth Court and the remaining airframes eventually made their way back to Gloucestershire Airport, where they remained in open storage.
Jet Age Museum made a number of unsuccessful bids to the Heritage Lottery Fund to construct a purpose-built facility before finally submitting plans for a building at Gloucestershire Airport. In January 2011 plans were approved for a new to house the museum's collection.

There are currently no exposure controls so the highlights are blown out on what would have been some amazing shots and some low light scenes have lost all the detail, hopefully we'll get some software updates soon.

Gloucester Waterways Museum.
Gloucester Waterways Museum is housed in a Victorian warehouse at Gloucester Docks in the city of Gloucester, England. It is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and River Severn. It is one of several museums and attractions operated by the Canal & River Trust, the successor to The Waterways Trust.
The museum opened in 1988, it was formerly known as the National Waterways Museum, Gloucester, one of three museums operated by The Waterways Trust that focused on the history of canals in Britain. The museum went through extensive refurbishments between 2007 and 2008, adding new galleries. In the Summer of 2010 the Gloucester site was renamed the Gloucester Waterways Museum, focussing on the local area and meaning that they could apply for funding differently to a national museum.
The museum features a collection of boats including narrowboats, river barges, canal and river tugs, and a steam-powered dredger. There is also a steam crane and heavy oil engine in the setting of a canal repair yard, complete with working machine shop, forge and weighbridge, and a hydraulic accumulator. The museum uses modern interactive techniques and hands on exhibits, which includes a model of canal.
The Gloucester Waterways Museum is part of Llanthony Warehouse, Gloucester, build in 1873. Designed by Capel N Tripp, it is six storeys high, built of red bricks, with a slate roof. The warehouse would have been used for timber, grain and alcohol. The building was designated Grade II listed status on 14 December 1971 and was converted to become the National Waterways Museum in 1987.

Description
Jet Age Museum is a member of Tewkesbury Museums Partnership, Gloucestershire Museums Group, the British Aviation Preservation Council and the Association of Independent Museums.
Jet Age Museum is the trading name of Gloucestershire Aviation Collection, a Registered Charity (no. 297818) and a company limited by guarantee (no. 2141333). The registered Office is at 57 Crown Drive, Bishops Cleeve, Glos GL52 8TA.
General information
The jet engine was designed by British engineering genius Sir Frank Whittle (1907--1996). His son Ian is a patron of Jet Age Museum.
Britain's first jet plane, the Gloster E28/39, powered by Whittle's revolutionary invention, first left the ground on 8 April 1941 at the Gloster factory-airfield at Brockworth between Gloucester and Cheltenham. Its official first flight was at RAF Cranwell, Lincolnshire, on 15 May 1941.
The original aeroplane can be seen in London's Science Museum. Jet Age Museum volunteers have built a full-size replica, which is the centrepiece of our new museum
Six more of the museum's Gloster-built aircraft are currently on view: a fully-detailed reproduction 1925 Gamecock bipln long-term restoration, an RAF Gladiator biplane, which crashed in Norway in 1940, a Hawker Hurricane replica, built for the 1969 Battle of Britain film, two examples of Britain's first jet fighter, the Meteor, and the Cold War-era Javelin.
Other aircraft, engines and exhibits, together with the museum's outstanding document and photographic archive, are gradually being put on display in the new building.
Jet Age Museum's document and photographic archive houses many treasures. As well as the Russell Adams Collection - a remarkable resource for the study of British aviation developments in the 1950s and early 60s - there are early Gloster and Dowty company documents, factory drawings, unpublished memoirs, the papers of a former chief designer and the log book of a former chief test pilot, together with many more photographs.
We are fortunate to have the services of two distinguished aviation authors and historians, Tony Buttler and Phil Butler, as our archivists.
Drawing on these archives, the museum's publications have helped to make the collection accessible to a wider public.

CHEDWORTH 2016
Construction of the airfield began in late 1941 and it opened in April 1942 as a satellite station to RAF Aston Down. The first users were detachments of No. 52 Operational Training Unit (OTU), flying Supermarine Spitfires and Miles Magisters. In August two flights were transferred to Chedworth. On 15 January 1943, the flights were assigned to the Flight Leaders School (FLS) within the OTU to teach tactics to fighter squadron and flight leaders. Chedworth proved to be too small and the FLS was transferred to RAF Charmy Down on 9 February.[1]
The airfield came under the control of RAF South Cerney ten days later and was used for flight training by the Airspeed Oxfords of No. 3 and No. 6 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Units and a detachment of 6(P)AFU was based there for a few months. RAF Honiley assumed control of Chedworth in October and it was used by No. 2 (Air Gunnery) Squadron of No. 63 OTU and the Air Gunnery Squadron of No. 60 OTU. They formed a combined gunnery squadron that flew De Havilland Mosquitoes, Bristol Beaufighters and Miles Masters until they returned home in January 1944. 3(P)AFU returned in a few months later to relieve the congestion at South RAF Cerney. No. 3 Tactical Exercise Unit RAF arrived 17 July 1944, becoming 55 OTU on 18 December 1944 until 29 May 1945.[2]
RAF Chedworth was also briefly home to the headquarters squadron of the Ninth Air Force of the United States Army Air Forces units during 19 June–9 July 1944 and was used by Piper L-4 Grasshoppers and Stinson L-5 Sentinels of the 125th Liaison Squadron.[1] PLEASE DONT FORGET TO SUBSCIBE
