Concorde at LHR?
Does anyone know what is happening to the Concorde still parked up at Heathrow? And which airframe is it? Yesterday was the first time I've been able to make it up there for a few months and I was quite surprised, and somewhat saddened, to see her sat there.

Nice thought, but a complete waste of effort - it will not happen in a million years.
on the buses
If any were to fly again it would not be G-BOAB as that was one of the 2 never modified after the Paris crash (along with the one that went by barge up to East Fortune near Edinburgh). The ones that flew out (to JFK, BGI, SEA, MAN and Filton) were the only ones capable of flight at the end.

I think it's nice having it parked there,so all of us,and also the pax can see it on our way to thr 27R. It was a beautifull plane,I admire it every time I go to lhr,and I did some nice pictures passing by.
I thought at first that it was a model,I was amased how small the windows are,also the doors.You say this is the real thing,right? I never saw one so close before
One nice piece of history.
