Heard today on the radio that the last concorde that will stay at Heathrow will be used with Terminal 5

What plans (if any) are there to use with a Concorde ???

Any ideas,

The terminal should be sufficiently big to accommodate a Concorde, so the terminal can be built around it. It would be nice to have other old aircraft there too, maybe a DH84 or some other types to celebrate British aviation over the years.

I think it will probably have to be closed to the public; the fuselage is probably a little too narrow to allow it to be used as a restaurant.

No akerosid!! Use what as a restaurant? Not Concorde I hope. These aircraft should be kept in mint condition, just for looking at, not eating inside! Does anyone know what Concorde it is, which is going to be used at LHR T5?

Concorde OAB for T5. OAA is off to Scotland by barge.

Fantastic seeing all those cranes by T5 - progress at last.
