This dates me. I can remember seeing the Brabazon on its maiden flight when I was a young lad at Wycliffe College in Stonehouse, Glos.

Hi Marilyn Yes - Charlton was the village (more of a hamlet, really) that was mostly destroyed when Filton airfield was extended so that the Brabazon could take off and land. I believe that it was mostly in Henbury parish. Bob Lawrence.
