Exactly 50 years ago today I sat wide-eyed in the school hall watching the very first commercial flight of Concorde take off from Heathrow for Bahrain. Today I have been to #AerospaceBristol to see G-BOAF, "Old Foxy" as we know her, and to reflect on half a century and more of aviation memories.

Well if #Beagle2 had been as well designed then the solar panels would not have obscured the comms?🤣🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ 👍 #gromit3 #beagle3 #aerospacebristol #space

Woo hoo! It seems that one of the new #Gromit for the next “trail” #gromitunleashed3 around Bristol this summer will be a version called “Beagle 3” to be located at #aerospacebristol museum. That’s my Christmas present sorted if they add it to the range www.grandappeal.org.uk

Cold, damp, foggy day so we opted for an afternoon at #AerospaceBristol.

Year 2 had an amazing adventure at Aerospace Bristol this week! From exploring historic aircraft to discovering how planes fly, it was a day full of excitement! #STEM #Education #AerospaceBristol #FutureEngineers

2 Concordes in 2 days! G-AXDN the fastest of them all & G-BOAF the last to fly!

Feeling privileged doesn't cover it!
