Default Concorde down the A30

Does anyone have details of Concorde's route from Heathrow down to
the Thames to be loaded onto a barge for it's journey to Scotland.

I've heard it's supposed to be early Sunday morning (4th).


Check out www.concordesst.com. There are some details on the 'Latest
News' pages and more on the Forum pages.

Bear in mind that Alpha Alpha will not look much like a Concorde,
having been parted from her nose, tail and having had the outer
portions of the wings cut off. She may also already be wrapped in
protective film to keep the salty North Sea from damaging her en
route to Torness.


The nose is still attached, I believe. The requirement was to reduce
the width and height for the journey, and then reassemble in Scotland.
