The museum is completely separate from 655MaPS, although Derek Powell, who was our chairman until recently, is also actively involved with the museum.

It is only open on Sundays.

I visited the museum during Wellesbournes open day


































Oh and i cant post some pics of Wellesbourne without posting a couple of the main attraction

[Saracenman]

interesting Cluny, thanks!

incidentally........



B1 XA903 i assume, but what's with the odd instrument panel? part of mods when with RR for engine testbed duties?

[Cluny]

Yep

[Gully]

From what I've read, the 2nd pilot had a full set of controls for the engine in the pod, meaning that they could balance the output of the 4 Olympus 100 series donks with the Concorde Olympus, or in later years the RB199. Loads more monitoring equipment in the back, which I believe the museum is endeavouring to complete.

Not sure where the cannon controls were located...
