Another British Concorde Powered Up

Would it be possible to connect the cockpit lights, instruments up to a computer?
Would make an interesting, interactive display. Watch the Concorde prep for flight.

The Brooklands Concorde, Delta Golf has all its cockpit instruments illuminated. I watched the chap wiring up the flight engineers panel. He fitted small fan units (like on a PC CPU) to keep them cool. The flight simulator instruments move when the sim is in manual mode and like DG they are illuminated.
mmitch.

Work continues on G-AXDN, with the nose lowering / raising mechanism starting to come back to life.:)

That’s great news. Though I bet a short run. The trip to New York = One ton of fuel per passenger.

Hope they post video of the power up

Maybe it will give those at Filton a kick up the bottom, it was 10 years ago yesterday that the last Concorde to fly landed in Bristol and she sits unloved and out of view(except at a distance) of the general public.

Believe this if you will….

Let’s hope the people in charge at Manchester see the good work being carried out at Duxford, and allow the team to finish the work they started on G-BOAC.

I’d never of guessed it’d be the Duxford example! Good effort that, very impressed.

Hi All,
Well posted Joe Petroni hope they go from strength to strength :eagerness:

Geoff.

That is fantastic news!

That’s a terrific story and I for one will surely add some extra to the box on my next visit. Congratulations to all involved!:applause:
