British Airways Concorde G-BOAF completed her last commercial flight yesterday and landed at Filton in Bristol where she
was the last Concorde built. She will become the centrepiece of a new major aerospace museum.

As a Life Member of the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust, I was lucky enough to be at the airfield to see her fly over at
12.45 and then touch down at just after 1.00pm GMT. I took  some digital photos of her and 23 of these may be seen at

I also ran off a 36 exposure chemical film using a 500mil lens which is away being developed. Watch this space!

Airbus, the successors to The Bristol Aeroplane Company that built them, have now handed back the Type Certification to
the Civil Aviation Authority, effectively sealing the fate of all aircraft of this type to moulder as museum exhibits.

There are also some pics of the Rolls-Royce company Spitfire and a P51D Mustang that flew in from North Weald that
morning.
