G-BOAF is parked in the open air near the runway at Filton (the only surviving Concorde living the outdoor life?) with a very small visitor centre adjacent.
The tours are operated by a group of volunters with I believe two paid staff.
The plan has been for a number of years to have AF as the centrepiece of a purpose-built heritage centre featuring the Bristol Aero Collection curently housed at Kemble.
Land was provided for such a museum near Filton Airfield and the Cribbs Causeway regional shopping centre and outline planning permission given by the local authority in 2008.
As is invariably the case the problem is cash. The last estimate to build the museum was £10 million (probably gone up since then) but so far only around £350,000 has been raised. The recession hasn't helped of course.
Progress has been beset by other problems including a visitor falling to his death a few years ago from the viewing platform next to the aircraft.
If the future of AF remains unclear then so does the future of the proposed Bristol Heritage Centre that would house the locally-built aviation artefacts.
It is a great shame particularly as it was thought by many that if any British Concorde were to fly again it would be AF. There are those who think that Airbus's silence is a part of a conspiracy to get this Bird back in the air but I believe that belongs with various Princess Diana theories and the idea the Moon Landing was filmed in a Hollywood studio.
