Road to nowhere
The new east to west road to the north of Filton Airport has many roundabouts, some of them like this one having been built with the potential for other new roads to join them in the future. The white aeroplane seen in the background of this picture is Concorde.

Hangar 16U
Filton airfield began operating from 1910. With the advent of the Great War, the site became a hotbed for the embryonic armed forces and this hangar was built in 1917. It is known as 16U, a Belfast type with characteristic wooden latticework prepared in Belfast and shipped over. This system of building was a response to the shortages imposed at the time but became a familiar sight on many British airfields. The hangar was used as a service area for the Royal Flying Corps.
It became home to operational R.A.F. aircraft from 1929. During WWII it hosted a number of squadrons, notably 501 - Bristol's pride, the County of Gloucester. Understandably, the whole area of aircraft and manufacturing industries was attacked several times.
Fast forward to 2019: the whole airfield is closed to flying and is due to be transformed into what is, in effect, a new town of approximately 10,000 inhabitants. The runway, all 2.5km (8,094 ft) of it, is being ripped up but the old Grade II hangar will remain. It will have a completely new interior that offers a variety of leisure and commercial uses.

A dangerous habit
Quite apart from any health issues, smoking in this toilet is a hazard in itself! Especially when you realise it is the crew toilet of an aircraft.

Concorde, back home in Bristol
The last one to fly is in a fantastic air museum called Aerospace Bristol, new £19m museum in Filton, north of Bristol.
Alongside is another hangar full of Bristol made aeroplanes and missiles, and much more.
There are four slide presentations projected onto the actual fuselage of Concorde as shown here.
