I know some ‘persuasive’ people who might be prepared to ‘negotiate’ for a price.
Fancy a whip round.
Otherwise, how about a large crane and artic in the middle of the night, I can borrow some Rotweillers to keep the obviously pleasant, helpful and conservation minded man at bay.

yo, someone needs 2 nick tha plain aaayyyyy :p

that’s supposed to be a hurricane? great little sportsthingie, but a replica of a hurricane? :S

The clip features Black 6 and Hans Dittes 109 that was operated by OFMC for a while, both are DB engined.

heh? I count 3. the pair starting in formation and black 6 :confused:

And therein lies the problem. No-one is interested because IT WILL NEVER FLY!!! I am actually interested in preserving our National Heritage and am now actively involved in a minor way. You have to accept that Concorde is gone. The Paris crash gave the airlines and Airbus Industrie all the motivation they needed to ground it. With the best will in the world it’s never going to be returned to flight. And if you did want to choose one to restore to flight wouldn’t a better option be to pick an ex Air France example which has less engine and airframe hours?

Yes, I do have a suggestion. Let’s scrap some of them. Say one of the pre production aircraft and if the Filton example isn’t undercover within 2 years that one can go as well. Give Manchester two years to sort theirs out as well. and definitely get rid of the Heathrow example. The unkempt and uncared for appearance of the threatened BA Collection at Cosford is clear evidence of exactly how much BA are prepared to put into saving our National Heritage. That’s potentially got rid of three or four. The rest might be manageable.

I Agree. Anyone who thinks of getting a Concorde back into the air is dreaming. It would cost tons of money and as said, AF are better airframes then BA. Sure they need to be preserved, but all of them? Keep a few complete ones(under cover) around and scrap the rest. Maybe save the cockpit sections/engines for museum display. Keep in mind that this is a gigantic aircraft to preserve.

Right, we have evaluated all the possible options. Now go back and have another look at the original photo that started this. Are we really looking at a genuine Britannia fuselage – look at the ‘wing roots’ with wooden blocks and the shape of the fuselage and the ‘freight door’? Could this conceivably be the nose of G-ALRX grafted on to a mock wooden fuselage? It would then have been detached when it was sent to Kemble. :rolleyes:

I think it’s a real fuselage. Doesn’t look mockup to me

That one definatly needs a good home. Really amazing.
