Good ones Jeff. I presume that's the Concorde flight deck ? Many years since I went aboard !

Nice ones. Were they still charging extra to go into the Concorde? I didn't even look.

Not sure if they charge for Concorde now, but like yourself, I didn't look. The York, when open, is free, and when I was there last year, it looked like Concorde was too, like the airliners on the apron, although there's a voluntary donation box aboard each one.

No sir, free to stoop my way through the Concorde.
I must also say with the number of people who go through the museum and the fee charged, one would think they could send someone with a dust rag around every so often and give a wipe.
And yes I know the Victor isn't in her nest but she is nest worthy and in need of a respray.
Cheers,

Good shots Jeff.
I agree about the dust - I have seen cleaners at work in the past, on the aircraft parked on the floor, and once saw a 'cherry picker' preparing to clean the suspended aircraft, but it looks like it hasn't been done for some time !
The Victor was in the 'spare bay' of the 'superhangar', along with the Shackleton, awaiting its turn to be taken to the conservation hangar for a re-paint, but was moved outside to make way for the aircraft temporarily removed from the American Museum.
