Woman spots 'ghost' lurking in empty Concorde cockpit at Bristol’s Aerospace Museum

A woman believes she captured a ghost in one of her photographs from Aerospace Museum. Caroline Harding, from Staple Hill was at the Patchway venue to watch a showing of Top Gun: Maverick, part of Bristol’s Film Festival, in the early evening of March 21, when she took a picture of Concorde Alpha Foxtrot’s cockpit.

Not looking at the image until she got home, Caroline was shocked to see the face of a man clearly sitting in the cockpit. No one was allowed to go into the plane at that time of night, and she's now at a loss to explain who the face belonged to.

She said: “I didn’t get a sense of anything unusual while I was there, it was only when I got home and I was looking at the photos and I was like ‘what’s that’ did I start questioning it.”

Caroline admitted that while she doesn’t actually believe in ghosts, it was creepy to see the face knowing that no one was actually there.

Being a self-confessed aviation geek, the whole experience made her think of a famous story about the ghosts of Eastern Airlines Flight 401 and wonder if there could be a past concorde pilot coming back as a ghost. “It was just really strange, and it’s not in any of my other photos either, it was just a shock.”

When zooming in on the man's face, Caroline told us she said it had a striking resemblance to her grandfather. She said: “There’s a specific image I can think of, of him in his uniform and it looked very much like my grandpa.” She also sent the picture to her mum, who agreed that it looked weirdly like Caroline’s grandfather.

Caroline believes that it was just ‘a light reflecting in a weird way’ causing the face-like effect. But who knows, maybe there is a Ghost haunting Concorde Alpha Foxtrot’s cockpit.
