✈ Thank you @HuddlestonNigel for joining @Samuel4WECA and I @BristolAero this afternoon!

Thrilled you got to see the hard work Lloyd and the team have been doing, with support worth £1.1million from @DCMS #CultureRecoveryFund and @HeritageFundL_S #HereforCulture (1/3)

This huge investment allowed @BristolAero to keep the museum running and ready to welcome visitors when they reopen on 17 May! It's looking brilliant and I can't wait for you all to be back learning about our area's history. (2/3)

🔵 They have also benefitted from the furlough scheme, rates relief, the VAT deferral and much more, part of more than £280 billion the Gov has invested to protect businesses and jobs. #HereforCulture (3/3)
