Thanks for your kind words, Pugilistic Animus, however with regard to Concorde, facts should be faced.

Airliners are stored out in the open in the desert for a variety of very good reasons...and certainly one of them is corrosion issues with the airframe.

IF Concorde is to be displayed, it should be indoors and not out in the elements...and especially not close to the ocean.

Put it inside a hangar or other suitable enclosure, where it can be looked after properly and displayed with pride.
The folks who decided on the New York display area should have known better....and this includes the folks who loaned the airplane in the first place.
