Weather was pretty poor and so rather mixed results.

Hi! Those were great! I enjoyed them.

Would you mind a request? I'm a Concorde nut and would love to get some
pictures of the Concorde at Manchester. I'm over the pond in Canada and it
does not look like I'll be going over to Europe any time soon....so.... if
you are in the vicinity and have nothing better to do, can you please take
some pictures and post them?

Thanks!

Nick

Nick,

Concorde has now been encased in a new building in order to prevent it
deteriorating and I will try to get in and see it but I don't know how easy
it is to photograph now. I may get a chance next month and will post if I
do.

I did post a picture in October 2007 and a short set in September 2008 which
I can repost if you wish.

Meanwhile, the three attached are from my early days with a basic camera.

Thank YOU!

Those are great, and I hope that you do get to see the aircraft in its new
building and get some great shots!

Take care,

Nick

Is it aircon hoses that I see looping under the rear? Or is it further back?
It looks like they are caring for her nicely.

They are taking very good care of her. Visitors can troop through the
forward section, but the seats there, the cockpit and the aft cabin
are plexiglased off from the filthy masses.
