Bristol Filton should have been Bristol airport not that excuse of a place sitting on the top of a hill with low cloudbases and strong winds way south of Bristol.
Bristol Filton had all the potential! very close to the M5 and M4 to go north , south east or west.
Perfect railway connection to London and above all close to the centre of Bristol rather than the miles out location of THE other place.
Filton is steeped in History. It is a crime that it is being closed to turn into yet another housing estate or unneeded business park.
I met one ground handler in his mid fifties who had worked there since he was 16 years old. Great people working there a disgusting shame.
