Bristol Filton Aerodrome (EGTG) lies on the A38 on the border between Filton and Patchway, within South Gloucestershire. It is one of the most important centres of employment in the area, encompassing within its site BAE Systems (who own the aerodrome), Airbus and Rolls Royce, as well as a numbers of aircraft maintanence companies, flying schools and the South West of England Royal Mail sorting depot.

At 2.45Km (8,038 Ft), it has one of the longest non-commercial runways in Britain, which made it ideal for the maiden test flight of the Concorde 002 prototype on 9th April 1969. With some poignancy, On 26 November 2003, Concorde 216 (G-BOAF) made the final ever Concorde flight from Heathrow, passing over the Bay of Biscay before making a low pass over Bristol and finally returning to Filton where it is now maintained on a temporary apron as a visitor attraction. Here, it is hoped it will be joined by all the aircraft in the Bristol Aero collection (currently at Kemble airfield) in a purpose built museum.

The aerodrome is equipped with full radio telephony services (control tower), runway/taxiway illumination and Instrument Landing System (ILS).
