Visitors to London’s South Bank may get the chance to explore Concorde thanks to proposals to rescue one of the supersonic jets from its current site at Heathrow.
According to London’s Metro newspaper, architects are currently considering £22m plans to create a double-decked area that will jetty out into the Thames near to the London Eye, the plane sitting on the top deck and a river boat landing stage underneath.
Concorde was grounded by British Airways and Air France for good in 2003, three years after a fatal crash in Paris that killed 113 people.
The plane that would be used is codenamed Alpha Bravo and flew for the last time in 2000.
