Bristol Aerospace Museum

I have to say from the start I'm ok with museums and enjoy a good wander, but I've only once before spent an entire day in one and that was the Michelin museum in Clermont Ferrand in France. This is the other...

It's only a few miles down the road, but we'd never visited. Today, as part of a Boundless-organised day out, we spent the day wandering around some fantastic British and mostly Bristolian engineering. I throughly recommend a visit, but I expect you've already been.

Janet had the bright idea of getting to the Concorde hanger before everyone else, who had clustered around the first section of the museum. The main shot was taken in the afternoon and you can see just a few of the start of the queue to get onto G-BOAF. The first and second extras were taken earlier in the day without the crowds.

I remember Alpha Foxtrot coming in to Filton on 26th November, nearly twenty years ago. I was one of those who pressed up against the fence on the south side of the runway, rather than. the posh lot in the stadium seating. Meeting her again today was surprisingly emotional.

As a mode of transport she was utterly elitist and environmentally horrendous, but as a piece of engineering she was and remains sublime.

The other two extras, which will almost inevitably be harvested later in the year, show the flight deck, and surreally a shot of a gold foiled chocolate Concorde made by Luke Jerram (of globe and moon balloon fame)
