Remember the huge British Concorde that used to be at Times Square? Supposedly, it was donated to the Cradle of Aviation Museum to be put on display. As far as I know, it was never put on display and I've heard nothing about it. I fear maybe it was auctioned-off to a private collector. Any information would be welcomed.
The last time I saw that model was in the hanger at the Cradle of Aviation. It was being repainted. This was going back a few years now. At the time it was not in good condition. I read somewhere that they wanted to display outside of the museum entrance. I believe it is still there somewhere.Quote:

You are correct. The British Concorde model was removed from the entrance at Heathrow. I read that BA would no longer pay the advertising fee. The spot now has become home, I believe,to an Emirates aircraft instead.
An Emirates A380 should be next up at that traffic circle.
The LHR Concrde was already removed? Any ideas on its location?
there used to be a TWA L 1649 Starliner (ultimate connie),model in the same place,NYC,back in the day.
Wow, really? I loved seeing Concorde up in Times Square but that sounds cool too! WOnder if there are photos of that lying around.Quote:
