British Airways Concorde in 2005
Greetings,
As you know ... a British Airways Concorde [G-B0AD] stood ... incongruously ... on a floating barge within a stone's through of USS Intrepid when she was moored at a Hudson River pier ... until her temporary refurbishing stint at Bayonne and now at Stapleton.
I was able to photograph Concorde ... outside ... inside ... and underneath during Armed Forces Week in 2005.
Don't know how many visitors actually went inside to see her less-than-spacious passenger and crew accommodations. Perhaps a lot fewer than at Floyd Bennett Field where she now sits ... on terra firma.
[An upcoming post will feature the vintage aircraft delights of Floyd Bennett's Hanger B ... the home of HARP]
