Landing at LHR this afternoon I noticed the Concorde was inside one of the TBA hangers. Anyone have any idea what's happening to it?

Hopefully a bit of remedial/preventive maintenance - by all accounts, it's in a shocking state.
BA should either keep it permanently under cover or find a deserving home for it.

I wish they would give it to some kind of Preservation Society in order that it can be properly cared for and even become a tourist attraction.
Who owns it now? Is it BA's property?

I think G-BOAB should be donated to Bahrain as this was the first scheduled service for Concorde in 1976 when the US were so anti-SSC. At least she would be in a better environment and they would take care of her a great deal better.

How would you get it there?

Putting it in a hangar rather than a hanger might help.
