Will be taking a break from the deep freeze here in Alberta and heading to Barbados next week for a couple of weeks. When we were there last year , we had the opportunity to see the Concorde G-BOAE. Alpha Echo now sits in a museum there and is displayed quite nicely. You get to go through the plane, try out the leather seats, crawl around the outside of it. They say that at cruising altitude and speed the friction of the air heated the skin/airframe to such an extent that the plane grew 7" in length!
