On display next to CVS-11 USS Intrepid. 'Alpha Delta' has several distinctions including the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger jet in just 2:52:59 from JFK to LHR that still stands. The landmark was achieved by Capt Leslie Scott, Sr F/O Tim Orchard and Sr E/O Rick Eades on 7 Feb 1996 taking advantage of the jet stream, planning the deceleration close to LHR and co-operation of Heathrow ATC. It was the only BA Concorde to have worn the dual livery of British Airways and Singapore Airlines from 12/77 to 10/80. It also has logged 23,297h 25min, the most any Concorde has flown.
