Concorde



I've always had a fascination for Concorde so when the Concorde Museum opened in Bristol I went.

 This is Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, the last to be built.

The museum is located on the historic Filton Airfield.  Planes have been built in Bristol since 1910 and its been a huge employer in the area.


One of the old Control Towers. 












For the initial opening they had some of the pilots there to answer questions, this was Capt. Colin Morris.

Bristol has a history of air craft building and planes named after it.









They also built vehicles here 



together with the famous Bristol car, whose shape wouldn't look out of place today.


Its well worth a visit and your ticket lasts for a year.
