About

Aerospace Bristol is an aerospace museum at Filton, to the north of Bristol, England. The project is run by the Bristol Aero Collection Trust and houses a varied collection of exhibits, including Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, the final Concorde to be built and the last to fly.

The museum: The museum is situated on Filton Airfield and the main exhibition is housed in a First World War Grade II listed hangar, A second hangar from the same era, also Grade II listed, is used as the workshop and storage area for items undergoing restoration, with Concorde exhibited in a new, purpose-built hangar. The exhibits cover over 100 years of aviation history through two world wars, exploring the role of aircraft in these conflicts, through the drama and technological advances of the space race and on to the modern day.

The Concorde Trust, 2007 to 2012: The Concorde Trust was formed in 2007 and produced applications for support for a new museum that would house one Concorde aircraft.

2003: Concorde Alpha Foxtrot (G-BOAF) flew into Filton in November. She remained out in the open for 14 years until the construction of a dedicated exhibition building was completed.
