In April 1941 Britain's first jet left the ground at a grass airfield 4 miles from Gloucester Cathedral. During the 1940s Britain's first-ever jet aircraft, the world's first jet fighter in squadron service and the first jet to hold the world air-speed record were all designed, built and flown in the Gloucester and Cheltenham area.
