Yet another 'Where was I?'

Bit tenuous this one, and not exactly difficult - it's within 500m of a railway, but that's kinda not the point:

Yes agreed! Good to see they have finally got 216 under cover. I hope to visit soon and remember my supersonic flight on her.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Yup, Aerospace Bristol -. We went to the preview day; it opens properly on 17 Oct 2017.

This being a rail forum, perhaps I should have used this image:
