ENGINEERING, Concorde and chocolate will come together next month to provide an egg-cellent twist on visits to a Somerset attraction.

From April 8 to 17, the Fleet Air Arm Museum team will challenge visitors to get hands-on, making a cradle and parachute for a chocolate egg and drop it from the Concorde viewing platform.

Visitors are urged to keep their egg in one piece – as they get to keep it after their effort.

People can take part – with a vegan option also on offer – from 10am to 3pm, alongside the museum’s four halls full of aircraft telling the story of 100 years of flight.

Elliott Bailey, public programming manager at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, said: “This Easter we’re challenging our visitors to a twist on the conventional egg drop, and one that’s a lot sweeter.

“We hope that the fact that we’re hosting it in the shadow of Concorde, a feat of engineering and an icon of the jet age, inspires our visitors.”

All events, unless stated, are free with a museum ticket, which offers year-round access to the museum and its seasonal events.
