“She’ll be Lovely.” - Restoring a Piece of Aviation History

Come celebrate! - Sunday 13 April, 2025 - Join us for morning tea and hear the story behind the Bristol Freighter Project direct from the people who generously donated their time, expertise, and workshop premises to refurbish this distinctive aircraft.

A favourite attraction since arriving at Founders Heritage Park, the Bristol Freighter aircraft has had a hearty refurbishment and sparkling paint job during the last 18 months. Fuelled by generous volunteer energy, aviation enthusiasm, coffee and Tim Tams, this project is a feel-good story about what happens when the community rolls up their collaborative sleeves and get to work.

This is a TUKU25 event.
