saw concord at heathrow 16/5/05
 
Whilst leaving for the middle east and taxying out on to Runway 27L at LHR on the monday 16/5 i noticed concord on taxiway......does anyone know of its status ??? it looked from the distance like it was on a taxiway...any light would be helpful

Its there to stay as a mantle piece only....so dont expect it to roll an inch further!

As I roll past it I am always amazed how small it looks... could almost be mistaken for a scaled down model !

Yes, i noticed this on my flight out to LA three weeks ago.... caught it out the corner of my eye and felt like i'd seen a ghost!:eek:

1. New driver. Doesnt know the route.

2. May be the gate guardian from the tunnel entrance making a bid for freedom.

3. "For sale, one careful driver.."

etc etc

Is a Concord a scaled down version of a Concorde ? ;)

i must say i love the way it's outside the VS Hanger...

I must say it makes my regular trips between LHR and MAN a little less tedious being able to see a Concorde at each end of the trip... The one at MAN lined up behind the flying school Pipers and Robins makes for a good picture.
