Crawley Museum BCal Exhibition

The Crawley Museum Is Celebrating British Caledonian Airways (BCal)

The Crawley Museum is delighted to celebrate the story of British Caledonian Airways (BCal), one of the most recognisable names in British aviation and an airline closely linked to the SUSY area, Crawley & Gatwick Airport. Founded in 1961, BCal grew to become the UK’s leading independent airline, connecting Britain with destinations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America. For many local people, BCal was not just an airline but a major employer and a proud part of Crawley’s aviation heritage.

Martin Stone from the Crawley Museum joins Clive Hilton on SUSY Sunday Brunch (hear below) to explain how this celebration explores the people, aircraft and identity that made BCal such a fond memory for so many. From its famous Lion Rampant logo and tartan-inspired branding to its reputation for high-quality customer service, BCal left a lasting mark on British aviation before becoming part of British Airways in 1988.

The exhibition has already attracted significant interest and runs till the 28th March and is open Thursday to Saturday 10.30am to 4pm at the Crawley Museum.

Rock The Roof, St Nicholas, Charlwood

St Nicholas Church in Charlwood, is roughly 940-950 years old with its oldest parts, including the tower base and north wall, dating to around 1080. Built shortly after the Norman Conquest, it is a Grade 1 listed building featuring 13th century wall paintings and with a roof that needs repair.

Rev. Sue Lepp explained the church is seeking grant funding and events like Rock The Roof are massively appreciated; not only to raise the much needed funds but also to have good community fun, singing and some magic from the very talented Tim. Rock Choir members from across the SUSY area and beyond, gave up their time for free with a packed church joining in!

SUSY Sunday Brunch’s Clive Hilton went along to find out more and briefly spoke to Natasha Graimes (Rock Choir Lead) and Tim Hill (Magician & compere) before listening to their brilliant version of ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’.
