This Concorde is well looked after and in super condition. She is lovingly cared for by former Air France Concorde engineer Alexandra Jolivet, who maintains part of Sierra Delta’s hydraulics systems and electrics, this Concorde is the only Concorde in the world to still have a working nose and visor
she is parked next to prototype Concorde 001, the very first Concorde to fly This means that you get to see two Concorde’s at once. This is a must for any Concorde fan to visit, and a super museum.
Under an agreement established between the Air Museum at Le Bourget, Paris, and the French association Olympus593 A former Concorde engineer carried out the first review of Concorde “Sierra Delta’s” engines. The operation was known as a boroscope or if you prefer the French term, endoscopy. This happened during the whole day of Saturday, May 29th 2010 (10am to 5pm). For further details CLICK HERE!
