It’s been nearly 17 years since the supersonic airliner last flew and with only 20 ever being built, where did they all go? Key.Aero finds out…
The Anglo-French Concorde was a masterpiece of engineering and is arguably one of the most recognisable icons of aviation.
Since the type’s retirement from commercial service on October 24, 2003, most of the airframes have been placed around the world at several sites including museums and airports, although one example was used for parts and eventually scrapped.
So where are they all now?
