DG's Arrival: Page 1
In June 2004 the main sections of Concorde Delta Golf made their final journey from Filton to Brooklands Museum. Here is a selection of photographs showing the arrival of the main fuselage section at the museum. Thanks to Mark Bolland, Ross Kelway and Kenny Farmer for allowing me to use their photographs.
