BA's problem is that can't scrap a Concorde, its too big a part of the UK nations heritage. It would be a PR disaster, and they know that.
Concorde was just as much a part of the French nations heritage ... and they managed to scrap F-BVFD ....

from concordesst.com ...
It was later broken up in 1994, at Charles de Gaulle, Paris, France. After being out of service for 12 years it had suffered serious corrosion.
... seems to be what's being suggested here

there are some pictures on airliners.net of the dismantling if you search on the registration
