Thank you guys for sending advise my way. I have now finally got the download thing organised. I know you probably think I am some sort of computer illiterate, I assure I am not.
Anyway, here are thee photos of the Concord museum located next to the airport in Barbados. It has only recently opened and I was asked to photograph the exhibit for promotional material. I also attached a photo of the Concord coming in for a landing. It flew to Barbados every Saturday during the tourist season and we would drive down to the end of the runway to watch it come in. It would fly right over your head!
 I have some other fun stuff coming
Later...

there is a spectacular light show with a digitally projected movie showing everything about Concord
as well as a THUNDEROUS sound system. (when they simulate the 'sonic boom' you mess your pants!)
There is also a gift shop, Flight Simulator stations, and a few other fun things.

That's it for now, thanks again foir the advise!!

So it is. Never seen on of those before, but should've noticed the un-Vans like crank in the wings! Grin

Looking on google, it may be there as the only homebuilt built on Barbados. Smiley

Very cool.  Seems like there are Concordes all over the place.
