BBC Radio Bristol has been collecting local memories of Concorde. Here are some of them:

"My memories are of my late father, Charles Taylor, working on the prototype of Concorde at Filton. He worked for Smith's industries at that time, on the dials and instruments of Concorde. He was very proud to be working on Concorde and we are very proud of him to be associated with it. Paul Netcott

"Watching her head towards the 'Pond' on her particular track each morning from the garden. A unique shape in the sky. Also, listening to the Olympus engine tests from the garden as a child. That roar... Finally, watching her come home from the Suspension Bridge. Susan Watkins

Tickets at the ready!

The doors of the new Aerospace Bristol museum are now open.

This is a £19m project, with fundraising still continuing. It received a £4.7m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Watch: this is a little of what you will experience if you visit the Museum at Filton, from 0900 today...

Great Western Railway is running a reduced service through Bath due to a signalling fault.

Passengers are advised to check before they travel as trains will be at a reduced speed, causing cancellations or delays at short notice.

There will be a replacement bus service in place from 0930.

Passengers are advised to use local services.

All of a sudden, everyone is transfixed - they're looking at the side of Concorde.

The whole of the aeroplane has been turned into a giant projector, telling the history of how she was developed.

"My love of aviation came from my father's love of planes... I watched the last flight from the UWE Frenchay campus, with a tear in my eye - my father was at the end of the runway to welcome her home (I suspect, with a tear in his eye too). We never got to fly in her, but have always loved her beauty, and are looking forward to seeing her in her new home. Esther Williams (on behalf of my dad, Michael Williams)

"I vividly remember Concorde 002's maiden flight in 1969. I was 11 years old, watching the take-off on a black & white TV with my family. We ran out of the house and captured Concorde flying over the end of our road. Concorde was my late father's life and passion. He worked as a hydraulics engineer at Filton until his retirement, and regularly travelled to Toulouse. So many great memories. Clive Hickman

Just breaking away from Concorde news briefly.

There's a signalling fault at Bath Spa railway station meaning no trains are running through the station.

Bus replacement services have been requested and, if you're going to Bristol, you can use your train ticket on bus services.

When the British and French collaborated to create Concorde, there was a huge amount of cooperation - but also some bones of contention.

One of those was whether Concorde should have an "e" at the end of its name.

But why was there a fight over it ...

The new Aerospace Bristol museum in Filton has brought back a lot of memories for the first people visiting today.

Julie and Gerry found the same seats they flew in on Concorde, when they left London on this very same aircraft.

BBC Radio Bristol has been collecting local memories of Concorde. Here are some of them:

"Whilst an apprentice with BAC Guided Weapons in Filton, I would walk through the hanger on my way home. As I entered the hanger I was shocked to see Concorde's nose pointing up to the roof. I found out later that during a fuel test someone had accidentally dumped fuel, into the rear fuel cell of Concorde." Rob Boyd

"The first time I saw Concorde was when I was playing hockey on the Kingsfield school playing field. It would have been around 1970 (certainly before it had made any commercial flights). The game stopped as we watched Concorde fly in a loop around the field. Amazing! Sue Jenkins

"I was chatting to a chap sitting next to me at our kids' swimming lessons who told me he'd worked on a Concorde. I told him my father-in-law Tony Holmes was a designer on Concorde, who was also the height of the average male; he performed a unique service as the human model for the toilets on Concorde. Steve said, "I might recognise him from a certain angle...I spent a lot of time lying on my back doing the toilet seat wiring." Charles Sanderson

This whole museum isn't just about Concorde Alpha Foxtrot. I've been taking a look round the second building too.

The rest of the collection in this museum is housed in a 100-year-old Grade II listed building, where aircraft were built in World War One.

Objects in the exhibition include:

• A Bristol babe replica
• A Bristol Scout replica
• Bristol Fighter replica
• The forward section of a Bristol Beaufighter
• A Sea Harrier
• And of course, Concorde Alpha Foxtrot

And the one thing tying it all together? Bristol, painted in big letters on everything.

Bristol does have museums dedicated to its history, but this is the first one dedicated to engineering achievements of days gone by.

Back in February, Concorde moved for the first time in years. It wasn't in the air, but across the airfield at Filton.

Alpha Foxtrot's new home is on the far side of the airfield and near to the new Hayes Way road that links Filton and Cribbs Causeway.

A delicate operation saw the supersonic jet towed into the hangar.

Walking into the new Aerospace Bristol museum at Filton definitely takes your breath away.

One visitor here this morning let out a huge cry as he came in, which filled the lofty hangar that now houses this beautiful aircraft.

The site is split across two buildings, but this is the star attraction for sure.

Jonathan will be bringing us images and reaction from Filton, throughout the morning.

Alpha Foxtrot was the last Concorde ever to fly after the supersonic passenger jet was withdrawn from service in 2003.

But ever since, its fate has been to be left on the side of the windswept Filton Airfield near Bristol.

And the fight to get it indoors has raged for more than a decade.

It is now finally ensconced at Aerospace Bristol, that opens to the public today.

Our reporter Jonathan Holmes is there and will be bringing us reports this morning.

Good morning from Local Live on Tuesday 17 October 2017.

We'll be bringing you all the pictures and first reactions of those lucky enough to visit the new museum housing Concorde today.

But first, the weather: it's settling down after Storm Ophelia, so what's in store for us today?
