Full Size Ground Test ‘Aircraft’

This exact replica of the front half of Concorde was not designed to fly, but was used in the Concorde test programme in the 1970s to develop the cockpit and cabin layout. It measures 22 metres (72 feet) in length and includes a nose cone complete with Pitot head, fully equipped cockpit featuring a mix of actual and replica instrumentation complete with Pilot seats, and 9 rows of seats (36 seats in total). This item has been on public display for the last 24 years and is a very accessible visitor attraction. It comes complete with life size models of British Airways crew dressed in period uniform.

This is as near as it gets to owning your own Concorde. We’ve sold a lot of Concorde memorabilia but this is the only item you can walk on board, sit in the Captain’s seat and entertain 30 or more guests in the cabin.

Since 1979 is has been on display to the public in a museum. Nine million people have visited this Concorde over the last 25 years.

This item will be available to be re-located in November 2004. It is re-locatable and transportable in sections. It was re-assembled in it’s current location by aeronautical engineers who can provide professional assistance to re-locate this item.
