Latest Concorde and Club Concorde News

updated 05 December 2011

We have been involved in ongoing discussions with directors of British Airways on the relocation of a Concorde to a purpose built display platform, over the Thames, next to the London Eye. If these discussions proceed as well as we hope, the Concorde could be on display by the end of 2012.

The Planning stage is extremely complicated in that around 35 experts need to be involved, As such, the process would take around four months and cost in the region of £500,000.

If consent is given, then construction of the platform and the new jetty can commence. This in turn will take up to six months and will cost around £10 million. Meanwhile the Concorde would have to have its outer wings and the tail fin unbolted, to be made ready for transportation on a low loader, then a special barge, which would deliver it to a covered, working platform on the Thames, where the process would be reversed.. This total process will take around 4/5 months, much of it in tandem with the construction of the display platform As such, we anticipate the whole process taking just under 12 months.
