Bah, I bet half of those dials and switches don't do anything, they're just to impress the visitors
At first i thought this was the concorde at Duxford, but there is a pilot?

Interesting shots. We went into the one at Duxford many years ago it was a test aircraft and inside was full of test equipment. Is this the one at Manchester?

Perhaps they've revamped the Duxford one. It's in sections now, one section is of passenger seats to show you what flying in one was like, the other section of instrument stations which from your comments must have been the original configuration.

Thanks Tim for that info, I had no idea that they'd changed things. The reason I thought it was Manchester - Davex has Chester in his signature.
Shouldn't jump to conclusions should I.

It might even be a different concorde! I remember being quite surprised that the Duxford one was a French one with a big red stripe down the side.

Oh yes you should, It`s the manchester one, Alpha Charlie.Shouldn't jump to conclusions should I
according to the guides it is the only left that could be capable of flying again; they have drained out all of the hydrolic and over fluids but apart from that it is in original state. Should BA ever sanction it, and it pass an airworthy test, it could fly again. Of course they would then have pull down the hanger it is now housed in.

Thank you, Davex. I saw it coming in over Knutsford on her last flight and I can't find the photographs, or the negatives, that I took Interesting shot of inside the hanger, thanks.

Howard

Its a shame in some ways that she had to be put inside an hanger, Photographic opportunities where endless when she was in the open air!.
We also have a new arrival at Manchester bound for the viewing park, Nimrod XV231 arrived on the 21st April

The shadow comes from using the inbuilt flash with the Sammy 12-24mm.
On second thoughts, they do show the capabilities of the 12-24 quite well;
the cabin was very cramped.
