Viewing the nose move is extremely good from most positions around the front of the aircraft although when the nose is in the lower positions the view from the balcony can be restricted due to the wing of the Lancaster
Best views of the nose moving are in the following positions.
On the Ground floor next to the fire exit, Aircraft Fwd Starboard
On the Ground floor under the wing of the Lancaster Aircraft Fwd Port
On the First floor Balcony some views are restricted.

Brooklands Museum have been passionately restoring their Concorde G-BBDG since 2004. This aircraft was a Production test airframe and used to obtain the CoA and fine tune Concorde for airline use. 

Check weather for the day!

Viewing the nose move is extremely good from all positions around the front of the aircraft and from every angle, no problem here with viewing restriction as the aircraft is outside.
Currently no high view for the nose move is available so any photo's will be from the ground.

Why not join in with discussions on the latest Concorde developments

Our Facebook forum is where we discuss in detail our current projects, share photo's and where fans of the aircraft can ask questions direct to the engineering team. We are proud to be associated with both Brooklands restoration and the Le Bourget Conservation team so the pool of knowledge is immense. Many of our engineers have years of knowledge of working on the aircraft. So like our site, join our forum and follow us on Twitter.
