Looking at the display map I had, the one with the v-shaped tail, top center of the photo is the Stanley Nomad. The Arlington is barely visible at top right.

I think it's a bit rich them having a Concorde since it was American protests that reduces it's access to the transtlantic route in the early days and dented the commercial success !!

It probably won't make you feel any better to learn we have have a BA Concorde at the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum in New York, and there's another at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Personally, I would have been more than happy with just one.

Did he still exceed the expected noise limits though!

Thanks to all for the links : very interesting, and I wonder why the V tail was never followed up in Europe?
