The central hangar at Filton Airfield, South Gloucestershire—the historic birthplace of the Concorde—has been carefully stripped back in a process described as ‘delicate demolition’. This site, steeped in aviation history, once buzzed with innovation as engineers and designers brought the Concorde supersonic passenger jet to life.
Over the years, the hangar has witnessed numerous milestones, serving as a symbol of British engineering prowess. Now, while the demolition marks the end of an era, it also signals the beginning of exciting redevelopment plans for the arena site.
Efforts are being made to preserve key elements of the hangar’s structure, ensuring that the heritage of the location is respected even as it adapts for future use. The transformation aims to blend Filton’s rich aeronautical past with contemporary community needs, potentially offering new facilities and green spaces.
