Beyond the Airframes
NOTABLE CONCORDE ARTEFACTS
Not every piece of Concorde's story is a flying airframe. These significant models, mock-ups and replicas each have their own remarkable history.
G-CONC — The Heathrow Roundabout Model
40% Scale Model · Now at Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, UK
Built in 1990 and placed on the roundabout at the entrance to the Heathrow tunnel, G-CONC was a 40% scale fibreglass replica of Concorde in British Airways livery. For nearly 17 years it greeted every traveller entering the terminal complex. When the advertising lease expired in 2007, British Airways donated it to Brooklands Museum — where Concorde was designed and built — rather than see it scrapped. After extensive restoration by volunteers it now stands as the gate guardian at the museum entrance, a tribute to the hundreds of local workers who built the real aircraft.
Brooklands MuseumG-BOAA Times Square Model
Half-Scale Model · Currently in storage, Cradle of Aviation Museum, Long Island, USA
Commissioned by British Airways and built by L&L Tooling in fibreglass and steel, this 102-foot, 24,000 lb half-scale replica of Concorde in G-BOAA livery was mounted four storeys above Times Square, New York from 1998. It was one of the largest aircraft models in the world. When the lease on the site expired in 2001 and the building was redeveloped, the model was donated to the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island, where it has remained in storage ever since. The Jack Allen Memorial Museum in New Jersey has been attempting to raise funds to give it a permanent public home.
Heritage ConcordeThe Paris Air Show & Orly Airport Wooden Mock-Up
Full-Scale Wooden Mock-Up · Destroyed by Arson, Orly Airport, Paris, France
Before a single Concorde had flown, a full-scale wooden mock-up of the aircraft's fuselage and cabin was exhibited at the 27th Paris Air Show in 1967, giving the public their first glimpse of the airliner of the future. Afterwards, the model was relocated to Orly Airport, Paris, where it was placed on public display. The mock-up attracted visitors for some years before it was set alight and completely destroyed by vandals — a tragic loss of one of Concorde's most important early public exhibits and a tangible piece of aviation history.
Filton Development Mock-Up — The Flambards Cockpit
Full-Scale Wooden Mock-Up · Auctioned March 2025, Lay's Auctioneers, Penzance
An important piece of aviation history: a full-scale wooden mock-up of Concorde's forward fuselage — including the flight deck and forward passenger cabin — that once stood in the assembly hall at Filton, Bristol, where Concorde was built. It was used by designers and the sales team to finalise the flight deck layout and familiarise potential airline customers with the instrumentation and cabin configuration. The model later found a home at Flambards theme park in Helston, Cornwall, as its 'Concorde Experience'. When Flambards closed in 2024, the mock-up was auctioned by Lay's Auctioneers in March 2025 as part of the park's clearance sale, fetching £17,000. Its current whereabouts are in private ownership.
