A Fully
Comprehensive Video Tour of Concorde G-BOAG
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 full PAL resolution for £5 Sterling. See the JHS Shop for more details and to order.
