Nothing as exotic as everybody else, par for course for me. My only Concorde experience was at Fairford. Valley did a bolt hole there when the runway was being renovated.

Came back "slightly late " from lunch with a couple of others, hence "volunteered" to be part of the towing team for a photo-op ( 2x Hunter 1 Gnat) at the front.

Asked if we could have a look inside, and in we went. Don't think the seats would be quite as per BA / AF and the telemetry equipment wouldn't pass for IFE for most pax.

As an aside, saw my one and only Javelin flying...it was a chase aircraft I understand when Concorde was trundling down the Irish Sea....decided it wanted to have a look a Valley one day, so, in it came. This led to "some consternation" trying to find an engineer experienced on the type, but, seek and ye shall find.

That said, the lucky engineer was "less than impressed" to be reunited with the Jav.
