787 dreamliner and concorde at LHR
The 787 that the few selected staff were looking at yesterday is now in full view at the Eastern engineering base where the concordes used to park. The only remaining concorde at LHR -
G-BOAB can also been seen from barclays bank at hatton cross.

Just to let anyone know who is interested in going down to have a look!

Hi lhrworker, welcome aboard! You are referring to G-BOAA, the last remaining Concorde at Heathrow and very lovely she is to.

Plastic Pig also made it to LGW! Had a good look round the outside, and gave it the obligatory tap! Got given a commemorative 787 tour badge by a Virgin employee as well!

My office is right under short finals for 26L and was looking forward to nipping out and watching it come in on Wed. Just my luck that it was an 08R day, so never saw it!
