2 Concordes into LHR?

2 Concordes have flown into Heathrow today, the usual BAW002 from JFK at about 19:10, and another one at about 18:50 calling something along the lines of BAW917.
Anybody know what this was doing/where it had come from?

Extra Concorde

The ‘extra’ concorde was returning from an airtest following maintenance.

A third of the way across the atlantic and back is the usual.

Might it have been on a post maintenance/test flight, goodwill trip or a VIP charter perhaps ?

I found this on the BAA website:

1st flight: 18.00 BA002 NEW YORK LANDED 1737 4

The secon flight came over around 19:10 over my house, so it sould have been anyone of these, but if so , its coming from a strange location.

19.00 BA6674 BASLE LANDED 1842 2
19.00 BA819 COPENHAGEN LANDED 1844 1
19.05 BA441 AMSTERDAM LANDED 1911 4
19.10 BA1315 ABERDEEN LANDED 1904 1
19.15 BA5978 DUBLIN LANDED 1903 1
19.15 BA677 ISTANBUL LANDED 1853 1
19.15 BA909 FRANKFURT LANDED 1907 1
19.15 BA929 COLOGNE LANDED 1916 1
19.25 BA1405 MANCHESTER LANDED 1939 1
19.25 BA1459 EDINBURGH LANDED 1933 1
19.25 BA943 DUSSELDORF LANDED 1914 1

19.35 BA399 BRUSSELS LANDED 1921 1
19.35 BA719 ZURICH LANDED 1920 1

I wouldn’t have thought that it would have been any of those?

Oneleft do you have any info for us?

Yep I saw the original one at around 5:30 its usual time then I just saw the other other one.

The second one was alot lower than the first… perhaps it came from Barbados, they do fly from the on occassion.

Other than that Im not sure.
