Thanks for sharing the pictures Steve and I'm looking forward to see what Damiens managed to salvage.

I got absolutely soaked at LHR yesterday but it was well worth it just to hear and feel those engines roar for the last time.

To everyone who has posted pictures/audio/video over that last few weeks, many many thanks.

She will be sadly missed; BA are now just another airline, and LHR has lost a major attraction.

Question about the reg
 
I wasn't there sadly but a chum who was asked the question...


"Any idea why the registration, G-BOAF, is correctly shown on the aft fuselage but is shown as G-BOAC on the underside of the wing?"

A cut and shut!


But is this going to be the last flight of Concorde?


I,ve heard the sims not up for sale?:confused:

I've put a selection of piccies in the aviation history & nostalgia forum (and bcfc, your friend was mistaken - it's BOAF underwing too).

Damien - Tks . Your pics are better than the ones he sent me.

Just thought I'd mention that I saw G-BOAD looking particularly forlorn and out of place on a barge at Pier 86 in New York this morning. It appears she'll spend the rest of her days as an exhibit here.

She joins a load of US/UK military aircraft on display and I hope she's looked after better that the others. The rest look very weather beaten and tatty.

At one point, I could look at a Harrier and Concorde at the same time - we have made some beautiful aircraft in our time.
