Filton the real home of Concorde
I have been busy of late and we have now took delivery of the EC135P2 so that has involved a lot of flight testing for aircraft and role equipment and one of the trips took us into Wales through some interesting weather then over the Bristol Channel to Filton the home of the UK Concorde production. Thought I would share some pics that I can post, sadly I still can't publish the pictures of the first EC135P2 that we had due to "restrictions", G-WMAO was only 18 months old when she was destroyed in an arson attack.

Nice addition mate. Of course the most important question must be - does it have good cup holders?!

Nice shots Tony
BTW when you catch them...get them to pile up all their prized posessions and you can all gloat as they're made to set fire to the lot and watch it burn.

Hi Tony 
You didn't come slightly further south by any chance did you?
I'm used to the sound of the 'local' Police heli but recently, within the past few days, I heard a different sound so had to look out...to see a Police heli flying low...might have been you
ATB,
Derek
