Yes luckerly I got all the Air France ones in the mid 80’s. There were a permanant fixture outside AF’s maintiance base at CDG as only 2 were in service at any time.Made the trip down to Tolouse for the 2nd proto there.

Magnificent Flight

Gives more the impression of ‘Magnificent flight’ than say stuck on a barge in New York harbour – don’t you think?

I may be in a minority, but this gets my vote.

May not appeal to everyone, but these are some images of the AF Concorde being placed on the roof of the Sinsheim museum:

Edit: there was a post on PPruNe yesterday mentioning that G-BOAB will also remain outside as some idiot designer on the T5 terminal forgot to stress the floor sufficiently to enable the aircraft to be positioned inside.

They can make museum peices of her, but its never going to undo the massive loss they aviation world has suffered. In regards to the one having a pole stuck up its arse, im quite insulted. To see concord plonked in the middle of heathrow airfield upsets me. Hell never hearing her or seeing her scream across the top of my house as she leaves LHR upsets me, she was the one thing i never minded being woken up by 🙁

I was under the impression that there was some sort of indoor heritage centre being planned at Filton which would’ve included the Concorde.Being as this new parking spot is being termed as her ‘permenant’ home I’m beginning to worry-does anyone know how the plans for the heritage centre are going??
Here’s a rather good piccy from airliners.net of the Concorde and Konkordski at Sinshiem…

I was near Sinsheim on Wednesday on business and missed out on seeing the Concorde being positioned on the roof. Wil have to paln an extra day nextime i’m over there to see the aircraft in position…

Anyone seen the pictures of the Concorde at the Sinsheim museum in Germany? They’ve mounted it atop the roof right next to Tu-144D 77112. Airliners.net has a few of the images.

Concorde Alpha alpha is being dismantled at LHR for its journey to East Fortune. Expected to start around the 4th April.
BBDG will probably move much later using cradles etc from the AA move. On the concorde SST site there is a photo of the Air France Concorde being lifted onto the roof of the German museum.

Aaah I was thinking they were moving G-BBDG the other Filton Concorde for its move for Brooklands.

robbelc,

This would be G-BOAF, which flew in to Filton in November on the last ever Concorde flight. She would be in one-piece.
Took the day off work to watch it. Felt gutted….

There is another Concorde airframe in storage at Filton, not sure of it’s registration though.

Regards,

Paul

Has its got its tail on now? I guess its just a shell?
