Geocache Description:


This is the very plane that launched BA’s inaugural supersonic service, flying from London to Bahrain in 1976 and it was the only one of the Concorde fleet not to be modified following the fatal Concorde accident in Paris in 2000, G-BOAA did not fly at all after that date.

In 2004, the week-long journey from London ended in an hour-long trundle from the old A1 across muddy fields and down through a specially cut down section of this wood, allowing the safe arrival at her final resting place, The Scottish Museum of Flight and where she remains today, attracting thousands of visitors a year.  At the time, Concorde's journey north was thought to have been one of the most complex of any transport venture ever undertaken.

Have fun and please replace exactly as found.
