Tour of the National Aerospace Library & Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum
Tuesday 30 June 2015 from 10:30 to 13:00
Book via http://nalfasttour.eventbrite.co.uk.
Join us for a joint tour of two of the UK’s best aircraft and aviation collections. The National Aerospace Library is the guardian of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s library and archive and cares for material relating to aviation, aircraft, aerospace technology, air power and ballooning in the past, present and future. As well as providing an information service to the RAeS members, it opens its doors to engineers and other aerospace professionals, historians, students and enthusiasts who want to find out more about man’s dream to conquer flight.
The FAST Museum is dedicated to Farnborough’s proud aviation heritage and significant contribution to air science and research. As well as a tour of the museum there will be a talk about the work of their documents collection which collects material relating to the UK’s former aeronautical research organisation, the Royal Aircraft Establishment.
The tour is free, however a donation to FAST would be welcome.
