    Jeane's photo is of Concorde 002, the prototype that is currently on display at the Fleet Air Arm museum at Yeovilton. Here is a photo of the cockpit of 101, another prototype, currently on display at RAF Duxford. Concorde is incredibly cramped inside due to its pencil thin fuselage. The dreadful but weirdly entertaining film disaster film Airport 80 is highly amusing as it shows the interior as being about twice as wide as it actually is, the reality is not much better than a Routemaster bus.

    I think the internet partially sunk Concorde. When it was introduced into service the customers targeted were business types, to enable them to jet across to New York and back to take part in meetings. These days of video conferencing and the internet, why bother with the hassle, delay and expense? A shame though, it was a beautiful aircraft and it is a loss not to see it flying.
