HEATHROW CONCORDE

[10680]

Whilst looking on Google, planning a route, I looked at Heathrow and by the Eastern Perimeter Road there is a Concorde on the engine test facility. Now I don't know the date but it seemed odd. Anyone know anything about it?

I don't know how to do a capture to post a picture.

Normally a combination of buttons.

You then need to paste it into an appropriate programme and up load to 3rd party hosting.

Is this the one?

Well if its in there its out of the way I suppose, I thought they were going to install it one of the new terminals but I may be wrong.

It's not there any more they moved it a few years ago I am not sure where it's been moved to but you definitely cannot see it from the perimeter anymore

Thanks for the answers.

I wondered why the engines would have been run - even if Google was a few years old.

prob an anti det run as it was not one of the fleet that got the updates so didnt fly after the paris crash they only needed 5 so it was basicly in storage just in case it was required to have the updates and then put in service but it never happened an it got robbed for spares i saw some photos of the inside and its in shocking condition doubt it will survive formuch longer.

The photo was taken in June 2010, seven years after the last Concord flight - so I don't think engine runs were the reason! Those Olympus engines haven't been run since 2003....

BA were simply trying to keep the aircraft as much out of sight as they could, baring in mind the shameful lack of attention the old girl was, and still is, getting. She was moved again shortly after the Google photograph was taken. It's now adjacent to the BA Engineering Base, visible from Hatton Cross.
