More precisions have been updated on one of my previous posts (the one that summarise the viewable/not viewable Concordes).
I can add that a Concorde is viewable in Ms Virtual Earth, Yahoo and Ask.com in Roissy CDG, west of the airport, SW of the engine testing area. The best resolution is on MS VE and the worst is on Yahoo... |

Thanks! With that, I have updated my "Locations of SSTs" map. It shows a number of Tu-144s as
well as Concordes. The model in Belgium is not tagged with a placemarker.

Did we ever figure out exactly where the Belgian (Brussels) one is?
The picture is totally unlike the airport at 'Madurodam' (Holland) so there is no confusion there. CJ |

I found the model in Germany on Google Maps' satellite view. Go to maps.google.com and type in "Hermeskeil." Then drag the map north to center it
on where it says "Naturpark Saar-Hunsrück." Zoom in on the slip ramp from the B327 to the street marked Feldstraße and then hit the
"Satellite" button. There's a 150-seat Concorde visible.
(Edited to add that I put a placemark in my Google Maps collection that I linked yesterday. You'll find it listed last.)

there's the complete date.

The Filton Pics are at least 3 yrs old! because my old car is in the car park, and I have had my new car three years this month!, also the CAF office block,
along with the engineering portacabin is not in place as yet. So yes at lest 3 years out of date! lol

Google (in fact the image provider) says June 2005 but the image could have been taken 3 monthes earlier ;)
