There's also the Rolls Royce / Airbus / Concorde connections; and the length
of that runway outstrips Bristol.
Downside - no passenger services in real life.

And I forgot to mention that the downwing leg takes you over the gorge,
whilst, in the dusk, cars on the motorway have headlights on and some
sections have sodium lights. Oh, and there's the moolight reflected on
the Severn.
Meanwhile, I can genuinely see a lot of users being put off Bristol, if
they use the GS Xtreme version, by its uniquely awful lighting.
Just thought I'd encourage you.

John,
If you haven't yet got yourself on the seat at Bristol, don't discount
Filton as an option.
I'm in the closing stages of testing Tony Meredith's Filton and it's
really very good. Not only that but it's in a great location. Take-off
from 27 overflies the third party Avonmouth Docks. Somebody else has
plonked other dock bits and pieces, storage tanks and stacks. Across
the Severn can be seen more stacks and cooling towers, whilst over
nearby Bath are hot air baloons. To cap it off there's an excellent
view of the Bridge and as you taxi out you find yourself being
overtaken by traffic on the adjacent motorway. A new field like this,
plus its location, should start to generate decent traffic volumes.
