Boundless will be hosting a thrilling members’ day out at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Somerset, where aviation history really comes to life. This brilliant museum is home to Europe’s largest collection of Royal Navy aircraft so, whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or just curious about the wonders of flight, this will be a day packed with excitement and discovery for everyone.

Step into the world of naval aviation and get up close to more than 100 historic aircraft from vintage biplanes to the legendary Concorde – you can even step aboard a life-size replica of aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.

One of the highlights of the museum is the interactive Carrier Experience, an award-winning exhibit which places you at the heart of an aircraft carrier’s flight deck as planes take off and land around you. It’s as close as you can get to the real thing without being at sea!

There’s loads of hands-on fun for families too. Kids will love the flight simulators, where they can experience the thrill of flying a jet, as well as the opportunity to climb into cockpits and explore different aircraft. This is an educational and entertaining experience for all ages.

As a Boundless member, you’ll enjoy exclusive benefits, including a free museum guide to help you navigate the exhibits and learn more about the history on display. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore Britain’s naval aviation heritage on a memorable day out with fellow Boundless members!

And don’t miss our free prize draw at the end of the day – it’s your chance to take home some fantastic souvenirs!

We’ve got a limited number of tickets for this event, and they’re going fast—so grab yours now before they’re gone!
