G-BOAB 2 BAe-Aerospatiale Concorde 102 British Airways MAN 26MAY99

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 26-Jan-17, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 26-May-25.

 

The Iconic Concorde. G-BOAB was first flown on the 18-May-76 and was delivered to British Airways on 30-Sep-76. The aircraft was re-registered G-N94AB/N94AB in Jan-79 for joint services with Braniff Airways and returned to British Airways as G-BOAB in Sep-80.

 

It continued in service for another 20 years before being retired in Aug-00 and stored at London-Heathrow Airport. The aircraft was gifted to the British Airports Authority by British Airways in Jan-04 with the intention of it being displayed outside Terminal 5.

 

However that never happened and it's currently hidden behind the British Airways Engineering Building at London-Heathrow, slowly rotting away. (Updated Jan-17).
