"Filton: A Legacy of Aviation Excellence" Step into the historic town of Filton, where dreams took flight and innovation soared to new heights. Nestled in the heart of Bristol, this remarkable place holds a rich tapestry of aviation history that continues to captivate minds even today. At the forefront stands the main assembly hall at Filton, witnessing the birth of one of mankind's greatest engineering marvels – Concorde. It was here that Concorde production came alive, with skilled hands meticulously crafting each component to perfection. Concorde 002, the second prototype, proudly graced these halls as it prepared for its groundbreaking journey through supersonic skies. Its sleek design and cutting-edge technology were a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The walls adorned with poster designs from Bristol Aeroplane Co Ltd tell tales of artistic brilliance intertwined with engineering prowess. These captivating artworks showcased not only their creators' talent but also served as an inspiration for generations to come. Amidst all this grandeur stood The Bristol Brabazon under construction - a symbol of ambition and progress. This colossal aircraft aimed to redefine air travel but faced challenges along its path. Nevertheless, it remains an indelible part of Filton's legacy. Collaboration between Aerospatiale BAC brought forth the iconic Aerospatiale BAC Concorde - a true masterpiece born out of international partnership and shared vision. Together they pushed boundaries beyond imagination and created an unparalleled icon in aviation history. As Concorde 002 gracefully left the Brabazon Hangar at Filton under tow, anticipation filled the air. The world eagerly awaited its maiden flight – a momentous occasion that would forever change our perception of speed and luxury in air travel. Inside BAC Filton's Concorde simulator, pilots honed their skills amidst realistic simulations - preparing themselves for exhilarating journeys across continents at unprecedented speeds. From this cockpit view, they witnessed the world from a vantage point few could ever experience.
