Hi all. This week went on a 4 day Break to Burnham-on-Sea in the West Country. Stopped off at Weston-Super-Mare Helicopter Museum, Filton, Bristol and R.A.F Lyneham.
Im currently editing/resizing my pics to show you. Hope to get a few up by the end of the night.
For now, heres an “exclusive” —> The First Air Madrid A330 (EC-IYB) Leaving Filton on its Delivery Flight Yesterday (13th May04)
More pics to come soon. 🙂

Hiya, thanks for the comments. I promise i will get some more pics up by the end of today.
Allen, the Air Madrid 330 is an ex-Volare Airlines Aircraft (I-VLEC) Which was in storage at Filton for around the period of 2 months. There is an airbus factory/offices at Filton. Airbus’ test aircraft often visit.
Ah….. 😮

Though my pic does have a tilt on it, the web titles are in-fact not level.

Great pictures.
Is it just me or do the titles on that A330 look ‘wonky’?;)

Nice pics, can I ask why the A330 was being delivered from Filton? Is Filton a final assembly plant for A330’s, I thought Toulouse handled that ?

Further to last post, as of last week the EAL 742s are still there

Nice photos!
Its the first photo I’ve seen of this Air Madrid. They look good!
I live very near to Weston and even nearer to Bristol Intl which is my local! – and my Uncle works at Filton in the Airbus UK offices next to the airport.
Are the EAL 742’s still there at Filton?
