In fairness it did start out as the Gloucester Aircraft Company, but the Gamecock would have only been around a very short time before the name changed.

Gloucestershire, I believe!

True, I was using the proper english contraction of the name! :D

...and Planning Permission was granted today (subject to Secretary of State approval, because it's in the grenn belt)
Some good museum news for a change...

Planning Permission
Congratulations.
It will be a (long overdue) fitting home for a fine collection.

That is good news!
I contacted one of your members a while ago when I had a flight from Staverton to see if I could see the collection, be we were there on a Thursday no no luck..
I did have a nosey at the Javelin, which incidentally is located right next to a great little bar / restaurant!
Best of luck with it!! Scott.

Excellent news. Just looked at the web site and the work on the Gamecock looks stunning, never realised how advanced that project was.
So a couple of questions..
1. What form will museum take, a conventional aircraft hangar or do you have more Architectural designs.
2. How much is it going to cost and does the museum have a deciated donation plan, ie 'buy a brick' sort of thing.
3. And what is the time scale.
Thanks Paul

Staverton has a long history with aircraft museums and it is great news that you have managed to get planning etc through.
Good luck with your projects.

The E28 left Brockworth today for the 70th anniversary commemorations at RAF Cranwell. It returns to its new home at Staverton on Tuesday

Fantastic stuff!
Always great to see all of the hard work being showcased, if ever there was an organisation deserving of a "stalwarts of persistence in preservation" award, Jet Age Museum must surely be it!
I'm looking forward to the photographs brought back by TT18 Senior! :cool:

Your link just goes to one of those pointless quizzes devised by a four year old. Can you fix it please?

Indeed it does!

The museum has now submitted its planning application to build a museum for their collection at Gloucestershire Airport, Staverton
http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Plane-lovers-flying-high-dream-edges-closer/article-2901187-detail/article.html
The hard copy of the paper has a bigger feature, albeit with a bit of a gaffe in describing the types as Gloucester Javelin, Gloucester Gamecock etc...
