During the entire week, museum staff will be dressed as some of aviation’s most significant women and will be answering questions “in character.” The future of women in aviation will be represented by three female Museum Apprentices stationed in the Test Flight hangar all week. The Apprentices will be working on panels from the Handley Page Hampden currently being restored in the Museum’s Conservation Center and demonstrating their skills and the future roles woman will play within the aerospace industry.
The “Women in Aviation” experience is free of charge and sessions will run throughout the week. The Museum is open daily from 10AM.
