Europe Trip #31: IWM Duxford - 12 - Final Display Hanger A

OK, the last of the in hanger shots are in this and the next post. The pictures in these posts cover [approximately] World War Two through to the Concord. It's amazing how they manage to get so many aircraft in to one [big] room without it all looking cramped - I guess it helps being able to hang a few aircraft off the ceiling :-)

Clearly the most impressive aircraft was the BAC/ Aerospatiale Concord - the fact that it was open was ever better! This particularly aircraft was one of the test models and was equipped with the flight test gear int he front half. The rear of the aircraft had the usual seating [although masked off so I couldn't get a rest :-)].

Top to bottom are:
