Pair of cabin seats £10'000. Tail was a snip at £28k. Jaeger Machmeter £28k Droopnose Selector switch £6k!!! Get these:- A passenger Blanket £1200 !!!!! A wedgwood Atlas Ashtray £1400 I'll post a link to the full list and a video clip of the nosecone sale when I get them uploaded. |
I have a Sainsburys carrier bag I once used to protect my camera from rain while taking a picture of a Concorde.
Shall I open the bids at £500? |
What was the bid for Mike Bannister ? Did it reach the reserve?

Concorde Nosecone
£300,000..... a crazy sum of money for scrap metal! But NOT as crazy as the £9 million which the brainless Sun journo predicted just a few weeks ago! (Saw it in a tabloid so it must be true....) Happy Christmas everyone...BM

But even more surprising was the attitude of the pl****er who bought the nosecone. Fergan Dustbin (or some such mittel-european name) was very happy - he thought he might have to pay up to £1m for it. A bit "Upton" I would have said...
(For those outside London it is two stops short of Barking on the District Line) |
He's a self made millionaire. I'm kind of guessing he's reasonably bright - just a hunch. ;)
