A culinary adventure takes flight at Aerospace Bristol this Easter.
From Saturday April 5 to Sunday 27, visitors to the aviation museum are invited to Chocs Away! A Tasty Time Travel Adventure — a trail offering an exciting journey through time, exploring meals enjoyed by pilots and passengers at key moments in aviation history.
Families will have the chance to take on a variety of food-themed challenges as they travel through aviation’s culinary past.
Charlie Clark, learning manager at Aerospace Bristol, said: “What we eat and drink while flying has evolved dramatically over the past century. This Easter, we’re bringing that evolution to life in an exciting, hands-on way.
“It’s fascinating to see how innovations in food technology have paralleled advances in aviation, from simple thermoses to zero-gravity dining solutions.”
The trail includes the Bristol Scout and Bristol Fighter, where visitors will discover how early aviators stayed warm with thermoses of Bovril.
At the WWII station, guests can explore wartime rationing and how it affected pilots and passengers.
The Space Station will feature displays of astronaut ice cream alongside the innovative capillary cup, specially designed by an astronaut to mimic Earth-like drinking in zero gravity.
The Concorde station showcases the height of luxury air travel dining, where passengers enjoyed gourmet meals while flying at twice the speed of sound.
