Ha! The Peoples Republic of Nottinghamshire have bombed-up theirs in case of invaders from the North 馃榿
The missile is a Blue Steel -- I hope it's inert. A small donation gets you into the cockpit 馃榾

路Concorde... the only airliner fast enough to stay in the shadow during a Solar eclips so astronomers could long-duration observe these events !

Don't stand behind either when they start the engines. This was taken at Little Gransden, which is 1870ft of grass runway so it didn't land.

路Concorde is highly missed. Heard of plans of returning hypersonic flight with 20 passenger plane being developed.

路Even in 2D that first image of the Concorde seemed to leap out of the page. Looks like its flying while sitting still.

路The Museum staff carefully place those pools of oil there to make the display more realistic. In service these vehicles would seldom be seen without oil spots under them.

The oil put me in mind of my first Land Rover 馃う

路Enough thrust and anything can be made to fly. Of course there are some aircraft that are so ugly the earth repels them ....
