The second Concorde prototype is on display in Hall 4 at the super Fleet Air Arm Museum. Of course the Concorde will grab most of the attention from casual visitors passing through but it is by no means the only interesting aircraft on display in the Hall.

Seen in the Fleet Air Arm Museum this was a high speed test aircraft developed from the Fairey Delta 2 used in research for the development of Concorde

Originally built as a Fairey Delta 2 to investigate flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds. In 1956 WG774 broke the World Air Speed Record (1,132 mph) and so became the first aircraft to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight. However, to take full advantage of the aerodynamic properties of the wing the FD2 was modified into the BAC221 by featuring a longer highly swept wing, engine inlet configuration, a RR Avon RA engine, modified tail and undercarriage. She paved the way for and is parked alongside Concorde, real aviation history at the FAA Museum.

First public demonstration of the new 475 Srs which combined a Srs 400 fuselage with Srs 500 wing and powerplant plus rough-airfield landing gear with body protection. Ended up stored in Nigeria after being acquired by Oriental as an executive transport registered 5N-ECI

The first UK-built Concorde displaying at the 1971 Woodford Air Show. 002 in its c/n denotes the second airframe built in the joint programme and 13520 is the BAC c/n in the old Bristol Aeroplane sequence, as the aircraft was built at Filton.

Second pre-production aircraft demonstrating at the 1973 Paris Air Show.

The first prototype Concorde performs smokily for the 1971 Paris Air Show crowd on a rather damp day.
