ALL AS IT WAS!
Concorde G-BBDG has been superbly restored and resides at Brooklands Museum.
Over thirty per cent of every Concorde airframe, British and French, was built here
- more than at any other location - so it can truly be said that
Brooklands is the Home of Concorde.
Sadly, this beautiful lady no longer flies, but we can now offer you the next best thing
in our exclusive programme of scheduled Concorde Champagne Days.
In addition to the Champagne Flight, lunch will be a re-creation of an actual Concorde
menu and will be taken with Capt. Mike Bannister, British Airways Chief Concorde Pilot,
and, after your meal, he will give a fascinating Concorde presentation.
Your day with Concorde will also include a brief visit to the Concorde Simulator
- the only one in the world open to the public!
If you flew Concorde in the past, we would be delighted to welcome you on board again.
If you never had the opportunity, now is the time to take your seat!
