One of the smartest aircraft wash rooms/toilets I have ever seen!

British and French aerospace companies collaborated to design and build 20 Concorde aircraft between 1966 and 1979. Flying with Air France and British Airways, the supersonic jets offered a luxurious and speedy trip across the Atlantic for 27 years. Capable of speeds over two times the speed of sound and at elevations up to 60,000 feet (18,290 m), the Concorde could fly from London to New York and return in the time it took a conventional aircraft to go one way. Flagging demand and rising operating expenses finally ended Concorde service -- symbolizing a lost era of luxury travel.

The Museum's aircraft, registration code G-BOAG, is referred to as "Alpha Golf." It was first flown in April of 1978, and delivered to British Airways in 1980. Equipped with four powerful Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 Mk. 610 turbojet engines, the Alpha Golf logged more than 5,600 takeoffs and over 16,200 flight hours while in service. The Museum's aircraft made the last commercial Concorde flight, which took place on October 24, 2003. On its way to The Museum of Flight, the Alpha Golf set a New York City-to-Seattle speed record of 3 hours, 55 minutes, and 12 seconds.

This aircraft is on loan to the Museum of Flight from British Airways.

New to BOAC in May 1971 Boeing 707-336C G-AYLT is pictured in British Airways colours in Terminal 3 at London's Heathrow Airport on New Year's Day 1980. I later flew on this aircraft from New York JFK to Prestwick on April 19th 1981 - total flight time 6 hours 15 minutes!

Technically outstanding but completely out of step with the market was the Fairchild Dornier 328Jet, manufactured in a turboprop version -100 as well as a jet version -300. Only 83 -300 examples were sold before bankruptcy was unavoidable. That the financial guillotine fell simultaneously with the rollout of the promising 728 was especially tragic. The Danish Sun Air from Billund operates numerous 328-100s and -300s as a franchisee for British Airways - among them the OY-NCM, which is now released in the 1/200 scale. Diecast metal commercial airplane in 1:200 scale, printed (not decaled), in meticulous detail. Made for the real enthusiast! All aircraft come assembled.
