The people of Bristol have one last chance today to glimpseConcorde leaving Filton - but this time it will be by road. Concorde202, which has been mothballed in an Airbus hangar for 15 years, hasbeen dismantled and will be moved by lorry to a museum in Surrey. Thejourney - the first of its kind - is expected to take six hours, withthe lorry not expected to go above 40mph as the 95-foot long fuselageweighs more than 15 tonnes. British Airways has agreed to give theaircraft a permanent retirement home at Brooklands Aviation Museum,in Weybridge. Until today, Filton airfield was the only place in theworld which had two Concordes. Work is continuing on getting Concorde216 - Bristol's plane - ready to open to visitors later this summer.Concorde 202, which has been cannibalised by engineers for itsvaluable parts over the years, has had its wings removed for the 120-mile trip. It was due to leave Airbus at about 11am this morning.From Filton airfield, it will driven up the A38 along the M5 from theAlmondsbury junction and then onto the M4 and M25. It was due toarrive at 5pm. The wings and nose cone are already at the museum inSurrey. The journey has been carefully planned by logisticconsultants EC Harris, who have offices in Bristol.
