In May 2001 I was very privileged to have a tour of Concorde G-BOAG by Engineer Mr. Alan Cox, while the plane was grounded for refits after the tragic Paris crash. My many thanks to Alan, BA and London Heathrow. This was a once in a lifetime experience and hopefully you'll enjoy watching the videos as much as I enjoyed being there. Visit my YouTube page at youtube.com/jamesjhs. You can also purchase a DVD of these videos at PAL resolution for £5. See the Hover & Concorde DVD Shop for more details and to order.
