J D 8 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Scorched fence perhaps ? Talk about noise though, in around 1970 those of us living on the Strumble head peninsula Pembrokeshire had the dubious pleasure of being subjected to Concorde noise tests. Equipment was set up to measure the level of sonic double boom over land. We were not that unused to sonic booms as RNAS Hunters would do them over the Irish sea However Concorde was much louder, everything shook even your insides as well as everything around you. It did on one occasion pass at medium altitude with all four Olympus in afterburner. What a racket and it went on and on and on for ages, at least with the boom boom it was done and dusted.

Robert Cracknell Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just about to bid when I saw that BA's conditions insist on static display only. Shucks, I had the model nearly ready...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shucks, I had the model nearly ready...! I dont see how they can enforce that. Once you own it its yours and you can do what you want with it.

Nigel R Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I'd imagine lots of the components are near end of life. Maybe you get the run time records for it but probably not, so you don't know how long it will be usable. Also Concorde used a military use design altered for commercial ops, might affect matters legally, bit unlikely with something this old but you never know, governments get funny about these kind of toys, they come with lots of restrictions, maybe BA & Air France were the only licensed operators and then only for use within the Concorde airframe for particularly types of flight and/or routes.

Jon H Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I didnt mean fly it. Many out of life components will work fine for years in a ground running capacity and if it blew up..eh, its on the ground so no harm done! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J D 8 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It would put those Merlin's, Pratt and Whitney's they have on running display at some shows into the shade.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cracknell Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I suppose it's a matter of definition. Statc means it must not move. It can run and still be in the same spot...!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
