Concorde G-BOAF has been moved to her new home at Airbus UK site at Filton.
Alpha Foxtrot carried out the last ever Concorde landing when it arrived at Filton on the 26th November 2003 and was displayed outside at the airfield leading to damage to the wings. She is now undercover in her new permanent home.
The new purpose built hangar forms the centre piece of Aerospace Bristol, the new museum that is “drawing together collections of objects and archives spanning over 100 years of aviation history with the latest in aerospace technology”.
The facility is due to open in Summer 2017.
