A fantastic aerial shot of Filton taken from the north showing the main runway and the Cribbs Causeway Regional Shopping Centre and the large sheds built for the Brabazon project. We can see Concorde on the ground. Photo taken 9th October 2013 courtesy Mr. Conway Shields. There is much to compare between the old and new shots.
