COLOMIERS, France — Landing gear and a speedometer are among spare
Concorde parts to be auctioned in the French city of Toulouse in
September, organizers said Thursday.

The auction will include 835 lots, from hulking spare parts to pilot
uniforms, and was expected to bring in about $337,000, with most items
going for $67-$400, said Aerotheque Association.
....

The association said it arranged the Sept. 28-Oct. 1 sale to generate
funds for a planned airplane park in the southwestern city of
Toulouse.
....

The planned museum park, Aeroscopia, is to open in 2010 and promote
the history of Aerospatiale Toulouse, the maker of Concorde and the
precursor of giant plane-maker Airbus.

Or as Jay calls it, "How to deduct your European vacation." :-))

Watch out. You'll offend Mr. Honeck if you suggest he purchase
aviation artifacts to adorn his suites. As far as I've heard, the
overwhelming majority has been donated. :-)

You have obviously never seen him at work in the Fly Markets or riding
the bus or a bicycle at AirVenture.
