Located several miles north of Bristol's city centre, the Brabazon project is an urban redevelopment of Filton Airfield, the birthplace of several iconic aircraft, the Financial Times reported.

This includes the Brabazon airliner after which the project is named – one of the largest ever during its maiden flight in 1949 – as well as the UK Concorde.
