If you zoom in on Heathrow Airport then there are two white things that look a lot like Concordes, is that really true? And in that case, when are those photos taken since they are both side-by-side at a gate and not parked.

Btw funny enough, Area 51 was also fully shown but only std. airliners were visible.

Stands V14 and V15 at Heathrow I suppose?

I've got a photo of two Concordes sitting at the gates at Heathrow.

I'm not sure what gate it is since it wasn't listed on the map I saw, but if you have Google Earth installed you can check it out yourself, it's fantastic to see all that :eek:

Nice picture btw :cool:

There they are. Cool, but the images from Google Earth are probably a few years old, so maybe this was taken before the Concordes were taken out of service. Funnily enough though it was kind of hard finding Heathrow. I typed in Heathrow Airport in the search and was directed to someone's house. ^_^

Look carefully at your image and the photo - they are of the exact same gates. :)

Yes I can see they sure do look like they were taken at the same place.

Blitz: Oh yes I tried that too lol.
