CAPTION CONTEST !
A lone Air France Concorde’s attempted escape bid from Germany’s Sinsheim Technical Museum was foiled at the last minute by a jealous Tupolev 144 who tipped off the local constabulary.
When questioned the Concorde said ” I just wanted to get back up there one more time” ! 😀

That photo’s from the BBC news website showing an ex-Air France Concorde being delivered to the Sinsheim Technical museum just south east of Heidelberg.
You will have to use the German menu to get all the features. For those who don’t speak german, anything with the word “bild” at the start has pictures. Click on “exponate” to get to the aircraft sections. Aircraft = “flugzeuge”.
I’ll give them a few weeks to sort it out, then go down & have a look. It’s only about an hour from me. The delivery was well planned & was all over the radio news as it blocked a fair few roads for a while. They delivered a TU 144 & B747-200 in a similar fashion a few years ago. The B747 delivery is well documented on their website with photos of the dismanntling, transport in bits, including river trip & reassembly plus mounting on top of a large frame. It looks like a bunch of ants carrying away bits of a recent kill at times. Quite impressive, well worth a look.
The museum & it’s sister site at Speyer, about 30 miles away have a reasonable selection of other a/c including 3 JU-52s & an AN- 22.

Well, that Blue and Yellow Ikea looking building in the background is the museum, and it dosen’t look like it’s on a lowloader to me…
There’s something strange about seeing Concorde on the ground with the nose up, though…
In fact, there’s something sad about seeing Concorde on the ground at all. *sigh*
