Devil Ze Concorde Quiz Mk 2 (Or is it Mach 2?).

As requested here is the second in the diabolical series of Concorde quizes. If you were never personally involved withe the aircraft you can leave out the really stinky questions if you want. Most answers can be found either in this thread, by looking at the many panel photos around or as usual by asking Mr Google

1) How many Concorde airframes were built?

2) As far as the British constructed aircraft went, name the destinations that were served?. Regular flight numbers only, excludes charters etc.

3) What was the departure time for the ORIGINAL morning LHR-JFK Concorde services? (Not called the BA001 then either).

4) Further to question 3 above, what WERE the original flight numbers for the BA001 and BA003? (The morning and evening LHR-JFK services?).

5) There were no less than FORTY SIX fuel pumps on Concorde. What was the breakdown for these? (Clue; don't forget the scavange pump ).

6) What was the only development airframe to have a TOTALLY unique shape?

7) This one is particularly aimed at ChristiaanJ. What was the total number of gyros on the aircraft?

8) How many wheel brakes?

9) What Mach number was automatic engine variable intake control enabled?

10) Above each bank of engine instruments were three lights, a blue, a green and an amber. What did they each signify?

11) At what airfied were the first BA crew base training details held?

12) What LHR runways did Concorde use for landing and take-off? (Trick question, not as obvious as it might seem).

13) What operator had serious plans to operate Concorde from SNN to JFK in the early 1980's?

14) What development aircraft did not exceed Mach 2 until fifteen months after her maiden flight?

Answers in 7 days, if further guidence (or clues) required then feel free to IM me.
