I have visited Bristol airport twice. Much nicer then heathrow, but why did they built it there.
During WW2 it was an RAF training centre for training pilots in fog flying - it does get very foggy up there!
The big plan was that the airfield at Filton would be developed into a passenger airport but the Aerospace companies never left and so the current airport just grew organically.
