Maybe the supersonic jetliner, a wonder machine of Anglo-French minds, has not been flying since 2003, but its parts will "fly" to different parts of the world at no less speed than the aircraft used to fly (FYI, it was 2625 km per hour). You see, a French auction has started accepting bids on hundreds of the Concorde components.
60 pieces were sold on the auction's first day and the sales have attracted around five times the asking price. Prices are approximately in a 400 - 3,000 euro range. The funds raised from the auction will go to a museum. Most of the 20 built Concordes are in museums in London and Paris.

ReplyDeleteThe auction is being organised in Toulouse, south-western France, by Aerotheque, a non-profit association that inherited the Concorde stock from aircraft manufacturer Airbus.
