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.

I'm slightly concerned to see that one of (I assume) the red squirrel litter has their pants on fire. :o

Yup, Aerospace Bristol - (http://aerospacebristol.org/). 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:

...but I was worried I might confuse people with the mind-bending combination of concepts that is a Bristol Tram, and in South Glos to boot. It's a real one, by the way - a horse-drawn example. It could do with wheels, in my opinion, and the other side could do with a lick of paint...
