    PMN,ref OAC all hydrulic fluids,oils,and fuel were drained along with escape slides removed.The aircraft will never run on ground power as the gppu (ground power protection unit) was removed by BA.None of the aircraft’s systems are allowed to be reactivated ie using the original hydrulic/eletrical systems for health and safety.What must be remembered is BA still own all of their Concorde’s and are all loaned to the various museums with clauses on what can and cant be done to them.

    Just as an example Concorde’s hydrulic system runs at 4,000psi all other subsonic aircraft run at 3,000psi.

    Seriously though is it possible to apply for a pass to enter the ramp?

    The only way of gaining an airside access is to be employed by the Airport or another employer such as Ramp agents etc and an ID is needed and there is a tough CRB/criminal record check etc,you cannot just get an ID because you know someone (i was joking)

    Try the BA museum at LHR,if they cannot help then i have no idea where you may get this item.The folks at LHR are very helpfull and there is normally a charge for research/copy of the item.
