Concorde on a barge in New York headed to Brooklyn Navy Yard where it will be restored.  What a beautiful sight, I saw one once at Manchester Airport.   Apparently it took 2 hours to move the plane onto the barge.

Concorde and the Shuttle. Two revolutionary icons brought low by safety faults.

I have seen her in the sky..  Unforgettable image.

coming into Heathrow - still in the holding pattern - from Dublin, the sun was sinking so the earth was dark whilst we were still in sunshine - then Concorde emerged from the gloom into the sun, shining brilliantly - unforgettable sight

I also saw the one at East Fortune, it was a Sunday and I liked to sometimes drive down to the huge market that was held there.

There is a claim, possibly apocryphal, that at least one RAF aircrew squad room has a message on the wall saying that nobody should attempt to land at Gibraltar unless they have landed there before!
