Aerospace Bristol

Brabazon · 19 miles

A collection of more than 8,000 artefacts charts over a hundred years of aviation, from early pioneers to modern jetliners, and it is housed on the historic Filton Airfield north of Bristol. The site is operated by the Bristol Aero Collection Trust and occupies two First World War-era Grade II listed hangars, one of which serves as the main exhibition space while the other functions as a workshop and storage area. A purpose-built Concorde hangar displays Concorde Alpha Foxtrot – the final aircraft of the type – alongside its Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 engine, and a separate Conservation in Action workshop allows visitors to observe restoration work in progress. The exhibition is organised into seven chronological themes, presenting Bristol-built aircraft such as a Bristol Scout, a Bristol Fighter and a Bristol Bolingbroke under restoration, as well as motor vehicles, scale models and a range of piston- and jet-era engines. Highlights include a flyable replica of a Bristol Boxkite, a Sea Harrier delivered by RAF Chinook, and a representation of the Brabazon airliner’s wheels and nameplate. The museum’s development began after Concorde Alpha Foxtrot arrived in 2003, with major funding from BAE Systems and a Heritage Lottery Fund grant leading to the opening of Aerospace Bristol in October 2017. Admission requires a charge, and the venue offers step-free access for wheelchair users. Opening times are published on the museum’s listing, and the nearest town identified by mapping data is Brabazon. Facilities include the exhibition halls, the workshop viewing area and standard visitor amenities.
