Great to see #AerospaceBristol celebrating the 40th anniversary of @science.esa.int #Giotto encounter with #HalleysComet - a mission that put @esa.int on the world stage and showcased the space engineering talent in UK and #Bristol. 👏👏👏 @ukspaceagency.bsky.social @cmundell.esa.int

Happy space #AerospaceBristol aerospacebristol.org/wales-west-s...
Exactly 50 years ago today I sat wide-eyed in the school hall watching the very first commercial flight of Concorde take off from Heathrow for Bahrain. Today I have been to #AerospaceBristol to see G-BOAF, "Old Foxy" as we know her, and to reflect on half a century and more of aviation memories.
Well if #Beagle2 had been as well designed then the solar panels would not have obscured the comms?🤣🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ 👍 #gromit3 #beagle3 #aerospacebristol #space
Woo hoo! It seems that one of the new #Gromit for the next “trail” #gromitunleashed3 around Bristol this summer will be a version called “Beagle 3” to be located at #aerospacebristol museum. That’s my Christmas present sorted if they add it to the range www.grandappeal.org.uk

2 Concordes in 2 days! G-AXDN the fastest of them all & G-BOAF the last to fly!
Feeling privileged doesn't cover it!

A selection of early planes made in Bristol, from the earliest to the first armed versions used in the 1st World War.
A red, white and sliver dual rotor helicopter, Bristols answer to the Chinook.
The last Concorde to land at Filton airfield .
The very cramped cockpit of Concorde.
As it’s close by, the biggest pink popped to #aerospacebristol today. The ticket lasts a year so a return visit or two is on the cards. 1/2.
