The stunning centrepiece is Concorde Alpha Foxtrot: the last of the iconic supersonic passenger jets to be built and the last to fly. It's a chance to travel through the decades, enjoy fun interactives and amazing exhibits – including aeroplanes, helicopters, missiles, satellites, engines and more – and immerse yourself in a story of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things. The museum is located on the historic Filton Airfield, where every British Concorde made her maiden flight.
