To see this when it opens in 2017.

Definitely worth a look, can't believe that it's 12 years since Concord flew.

That was a good read.

I've seen the Concord in it's last flight over the US, but I'll never see it up close.

I'd say that the Bristol trip, for anyone who can go, is a must.

Unlike the ancient bits and pieces of Babylon, these museums are something that we can relate to.

Seeing the aircraft up close also brings more realism to that aircraft when we fly them, because within the sims we get a very poor idea of their actual size.

Thanks for posting.

The prototype Concorde is at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, I've been inside her a fair few times. Still can't believe how small it is, as a kid it seemed so much larger

Our prototype's a Yeovilton. Duxford is the British pre-production example.

The first prototype is at Le Bourget.

I stand corrected
