I went to Manchester Airport where the British Airways Concorde is now and went inside. When I walked into the cabin I could imagine the people sitting waiting for take off and looked out of the tiny windows that Concorde had and thought of how it would feel to be so lucky to fly on the Concorde. This was my favourite trip I ever took.
7:00 the Concorde always landed with the visor down, so the removable cockpit window piece should not be on the model when in landing configuration. That raised visor piece would be placed on the model for when the aircraft is being displayed as if it was at cruise altitude.
10:35 fun fact: my dad works at British airways and the car park is the staff park so if you work for BA and you go to the end on the parking you see it up close!
I got the JC Wings 1:200 Concorde (Same Mould) in the Pepsi livery and I absolutely LOVE it. Honestly one of the best models in my collection and arguably the best 1:200 Gemini/JC Wings mould / model.
Hello everybody! I just wanted to say that last Sunday, I bought a turtle! 🐢😂😂 Awesome unboxing as usual! Can’t wait for your next 3 videos! I’m sure they’ll be awesome!
Lucky enough to have this model, such a beautiful one. sounds crazy but I remember the exact moment and where I was when I heard they were retiring Concorde, I was 15 and I was gutted and baffled. Bring BOAB up to us in Manchester and she can sit with her sister BOAC, we will take care of her. Top video 👍🏻
When I was a child I dreamed of flying on Concorde and was gifted the menu's and stationary of one of the final flights. I should pick one of these up if the have an AF one out there
Great unboxing video. When they were building T5 at Heathrow that Concorde there was going to go in T5 but I don’t know what happened probably did not have enough room when building T5
I will get one of these eventually in 1:200. I already have an Airbus A350 in British Airways I bought from a guy on CL. I also have the Airbus A380 in British Airways which is huge. I also have a Corgi Spitfire in 1:72. But my best one is the Antanov 225. This thing is a beast.
Sad to hear of G-BOAB’s situation. She deserves better. Here’s to hoping they give her some new life and put her on display for people to see. These planes are so elegant and impressive to just leave them to rot.
Love the Concorde, I would love to have one in 1:200 scale but it’s too expensive but maybe one day, and my Dad saw the same Concorde like you have right now, it took off JFK-LHR, Keep up the good work, and can you send Spirit to Las Vegas which is my airport please if you don’t mind
I have been collecting 1:200 of Inflight for years, because I love their finish. Do you personally think Gemini is better than Inflight models in the 1:200 scale, and why? Curious to learn your opinion on the matter, without saying which one is the best. Great video by the way! Keep it up!
@@Aviation18 Thank you so much for your reply, really appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for Gemini next time in an actual shop. I'm currently looking for a THAI A380 but they are hard to come by now.
@@Aviation18 Also, the visor was never raised for landing. The way the plane was designed was for it to retract into the nose, then the pilots would lower the nose and that gave them the visibility needed for such fast landings.
I have this model but totally disregarded the fact the nose could droop purely out of fear of breaking it, and I totally didn’t see the rear real... but overall I agree what a fantastic model this is
I have one of these models and agree with you this is a great model of IMO the best aircraft ever to fly. It is an utter disgrace that it has been left to rot the way it has makes my blood boil. I think at one time an idea was muted to place it on a barge on the Thames near the London eye.👍😍 I have a video on my channel of my model collection.
I totally agree with you mate that's not the way to treat one of our historical aircraft especially an aircraft which used to be the fastest aircraft the supersonic concorde, it's an absolute blady disgrace of how the spanish owners didn't give a damn about heathrow's history especially of our british airways concorde and just replaced the concorde model from the main round about and dumped it on the side of the runway and no one is doing anything about it no one!
Having only British Airways or only Air France Concorde's in one's collection is a heresy! Concorde is not AF or BA, she's both! Having only one of the companies is like negating history or splitting twins apart. Each company had common and own respective destinations (NYC and Washington DC were common destinations, Rio and Caracas were exclusive to AF while Barbados and Bahrain were exclusive to BA, among many others for both companies). 11:00 gave me a heartache, nausea and watery eyes! That's not a decent way to treat Concorde, one of the few human made modern marvels (and one of the two Anglo-French marvels, the other one being the Channel tunnel). 11:35 Don't know why but I really doubt that expansion will ever see the light of day, at least not in that shape or size. So many evictions, so much nature and city reclaimed... Not counting the road system and building nightmare it would be. Concorde's end was one of the very few moments in history where progress regressed. I know it wasn't viable anymore, economically as environmentally, to fly them for either companies but it's so sad.
Indeed! I agree with all of your points and in regards to the expansion, it's actually been approved by the government, It's still a long journey to go yet until it's complete but yes! Thanks for watching man!
@@Aviation18 Both plans have been approved? But that doesn't mean it'll be built, nor as projected. France's Nantes Notre-Dame des Landes or Grand Ouest Airport is a good example: a two runway + bar shaped terminal replacement passenger airport to the completely saturated Nantes Atlantique airport (LFRS, capacity 3.5M, terminal ridership rose from 4 to 7,5M between 2014 and 2019). The project was fully validated, completely planned and designed, almost every evictions already executed and all, building and excavation machines on site and ready to start. But it was finally tanked after numerous protester camps emerged and riots happened onsite, turning the area into something resembling a war zone or a siege, with police in riot gear against hordes of "ZADists" protesters squatting the site, ground holes, makeshift sheds and trees included. (ZAD meaning Zone À Défendre : Zone to defend). This project had way few evictions to execute (and were already completed) and was in a nearly empty area compared to Heathrow but opposition became so strong that the project was killed, costing millions. Opposition was almost only motivated by environmental and nature preservation concerns as there were no more inhabitants to evict, only one farmland remained with no homes left if memory serves. No matter what, after years of squatters' riots, countless court filings and millions poured down the drain of the project, it was abandoned despite a local referendum supporting the project 55+% (44+% against). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aéroport_du_Grand_Ouest From what I've seen of the Heathrow project so far, evictions and land reclamations are far from being done or barely even started (there are thousands to do) and local and national opposition is quite strong. And it looks like there's a far far far stronger local opposition surrounding Heathrow than in Nantes where inhabitants of the city itself were even more in favor of the project than other referendum voters farther from the project. Certainly because Nantes LFRS only runway points directly to the city center, the replacement airport would have had a pair of runways tangent to the city center, alleviating the noise for the city and restrictions for aircraft movements and maneuvers ; only Airbus activity would have remained at LFRS. Nowadays, with environmental and ownership rights concerns, such large projects are far from done, wether they are validated or not. That's why I have so many doubts Heathrow will ever get its third runway and terminal 6 expansion, at least not like that as it's way too much urbanized around the airport and I can't begin to imagine the social nightmare (and civil unrest) that evictions and land reclamation will rise. Paris 4th international airport project had the same fate many years ago (even though the project was in a way less advanced stage and only preliminary, it would have been a huge airport and some of the near dozen of possible locations would have been in the middle of nowhere between Paris and Orleans or in Picardie). Finally, on a completely different subject but closer to the point of the video: the model is lovely and I want one ASAP but the nose of the model seems off, the pressure tube at the peak seems way too long and thick. At least for a series Concorde. Only the pre-series prototype had such a long tube on the nose. Or am I the only one bothered by this?
That’s a real shame ,that a way ahead of it’s time plane ✈️ should be treated that way ,I hope they have done something with it since you put this video out , shame on Heathrow Airport , John hutchinson and others captains would be ashamed !
The Concorde shouldnt be treat like that Pity Aircraft like 9M-MNB:( 9M-MNB's decal is ripping off at KLIA now during grounded Man i saw you put some grasses at Dulles
Mine arrived today. Fantastic model, but beware (as Gemini warn), the engine clam shells are so easily damaged. I managed to do that within minutes of handling it. They don't break, they just 'pop out' and are REALLY hard to relocate. I spent around 3 hours. All good now but she's on her display stand, never to be touched again.
When he does a British Airways unboxing you know its special
Especially if it's the one and only Concorde 😍💪🇬🇧

You can put down the droop snoop you can take off the visor and you pull it then you put it down and up
The Concorde is Retired. Aviation18 keep up the good work and I will see you TMR of the Unboxing
What a video man. I love the concord it is such a beautiful aircraft. Keep up the great work man and I can’t wait for the next one.
Thank You!
What a review man! The features on this model is simply incredible! Thank you for the history of G-BOAB, she’s being mistreated that’s for sure!
If I won the lottery and I bought her,I would convert her into a house. But not before getting her repainted into her glory days.
Thanks man and indeed, it's hard to look at the images of it's upkeep
Went to the Gemini Jets store in Vegas and got two models thanks to your videos.
That's Awesome!
Ayyy my bday is coming up and I might get a VA 747 btw great unboxings and yes it is one of the best Gemini jets!
Awesome! You defiantly should!
The visor cockpit piece is meant to be taken off!
10:35 fun fact: my dad works at British airways and the car park is the staff park so if you work for BA and you go to the end on the parking you see it up close!
A long waited unboxing is finally here! Cool model btw :))
Yessir
Yesterday I was hoping you did a unboxing and you actually did! Nice model
Whoop Whoop! and Indeed!
I love the Concord. I flew LHR to JFK on the British Airways Concorde back in 2000.
wow, that's awesome!
I hope someday they make a concorde into a flying concorde museum
Great video , but do you have an estimated amount of time until the next building Dulles series?

Very nice
My b-day is in a month and I can’t wait to get a ton of models
Thanks and oooo, Exciting!
Great unboxing and review. Definitely considering on adding a couple 1:200 models to my fleet.
Thanks man!
I purchased mine today absolutely gorgeous model looks so awesome next to my BOAC 747-400 and BEA A319
Is there meant to be a cover to go over the tailstrike wheel hole when you have it in the gear up position?
Brilliant vid man! I love the Concorde too, especially in the Chatham Dockyard Livery. In my opinion it's the best BA livery
Nah, Landor is the better one. It was when BA was the best.
Landor is also very good. They both are. Out of the 4 special BA liveries, Landor is defo the best
Thanks man and agreed
When I was a child I dreamed of flying on Concorde and was gifted the menu's and stationary of one of the final flights. I should pick one of these up if the have an AF one out there
I have a 2015 1:400 scale BA Concorde and it is a lovely plane. Glad you got the 1/200 one :)
Awesome!
Great unboxing video. When they were building T5 at Heathrow that Concorde there was going to go in T5 but I don’t know what happened probably did not have enough room when building T5

Its good to have another unboxing again (Also you should add the 1:400 Concorde somewhere in the new Dulles)
Thanks man and that's a good idea!
My dad was lucky to take photos of concord in the hanger at London Heathrow when he was younger and flew on the last flight from JFK to London
Wow ur dad is really lucky
wow, that's amazing!
Amazing
Will the other unboxing be coming out soon
Thanks and yep, next Tuesday!
This is an amazing model!! I need to get one of these!!

I am getting the 1:400 version for my birthday but I think I might buy the 1:200 version too!!!
Aviation18 should make a video on how he started collecting models if possible
I think he already did
Good idea!
Epic! any update on dulles? like how long it will take
Thanks and yep, I've finished the runway and now just have to paint the gate area
@@Aviation18 cool how much longer do you think it will take?
Whats your first model, how many models you have total,from where you get so many money
It was the Gemini Jets British Airways A380 and working
When i Buyed my 2 models my bank account was empty (its to expensive)
How many models you have total
when are you going to do an unboxing of like 3 or more aircraft again?
Those are my favorites
I hope the new one is as good or better
Awesome! U should do a 1:200 airport
Thanks and 😂😂 Maybe
Amazing Video, I’m wanting to get that soon. How you rate the model from 1 to 100?
Does anyone know where I can purchase the visor for this model as well as the reverse thrusters. Mine is missing
What is your Favourite 1:200 model ? ✈️
Mine is my USAF C 17, Charlotte AFB
Mine is the Gemini 200 British Airways Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. 😍💪🇬🇧
Gotta say the American Airlines 747-100 for me
A220. Just bought it and it's glorious
