A favourite attraction since arriving at Founders Heritage Park, the Bristol Freighter aircraft has had a hearty refurbishment and sparkling paint job over the last 12 months. Fueled 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 sleeves and gets to work.

Come celebrate! 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.
