Aerospace Museum Filton

On the way to Taunton, Ann and I stopped off at the new museum built to house the last Concorde to fly in Britain, Alpha Foxtrot.  Filton is where all the British Concordes were assembled and first flown from.  To me, used to a very different sort of Concorde (101 at Duxford) this airliner with seats, galleys and smart toilets was a real treat.  Entry was by the front passenger door, and the visitors exited on the midway over-wing door.  Note the ashtray - there is a sign at the galley prohibiting smoking during food preparation!  Films are projected onto the fuselage and the engine nacelles and there are four large information screens beside the aircraft.  The original control tower is still there, and the taxiways are still clearly visible on the ground outside.
