Concorde Experience

[SISer]

How can I visit the Concorde Experince using public transport?

Or, do I need to take a taxi?

If anybody has been to this attraction would you recommend it?

Thanks.

It would be easier and quicker to simply hire a taxi to the airport and do the Concorde Experience.

 

You could always catch the bus back into town..

 

There's a bus-shelter right close by, across the street from the airport rum shop and bar for locals

so you might also catch a few Banks beer or local rum in there, while you wait for the bus and end up missing it :D

 

Heck, there'll be another one along in 15 mins. I'm pretty sure!

 

 

I've been thru the exhibit and liked it very much. ;)

You'll appreciate the air-conditioned hangar if nothing else, to escape the heat and humidity for an hour or so.

 

There are little mini-exhibits around the aircraft as well, so it's not just the big plane itself.

You get to walk all around and under the plane, touch the tyres,etc.

 

 

Take your widest-angle lens.

The above photo was taken using my Sigma 10-20 mm. lens on the Nikon..and God knows I needed it!

 

We entered the airframe at the very rear, thru the baggage compartment

sat for awhile in the seats while the lady gave us a lilttle talk on board, about what it was like

and then you make your way forward almost onto the flight deck

but there's a clear perspex screen separating you from the actual flight deck.

 

If you know your stuff, you stick the lens right smack up against the perspex

and fire away: it's so close, it acts as a clear filter and I got reasonable shots of the analog controls.

 

GO -you'll like it.
