Out of all Concorde planes built, only one was scrapped, F-BVFD.

It first flew in February 1977, and was retired very early in 1982. After discontinuing Concorde services to MEX, GIG and IAD, AF had a surplus of Concorde planes and decided to use this one for spare parts, because it had been slightly damaged in Dakar, early in it's service, in November 1977.

Part of the fuselage was preserved and kept in Paris, at the ateliers de restaurations du Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, right next to LBG, until very recently. It's near a small town called Dugny.

As you can see here and here, or even on Google Earth or Maps, here. It seems that the fuselage was removed last year. So I am quite confident it must be from that plane.

As for PH-BFY, she was the last ever passenger 747 delivered to KLM, in April 2002. Flew for the last time 18 years later in June 2020.

She initially wore a classic livery with the large white and dark blue stripes, with the addition of a Swan sticker to promote KLM's website (removed in October 2004), then in June 2005 was repainted in the more modern thin dark blue stripe livery, then she was painted in the KLM Asia livery at the end of 2009 and finally, after nine years, was repainted in the new livery (with the wave at the front).

Her name was Johannesburg.

PH-BFY was initially delivered as a combi cargo plane (M), but was later converted to full-passenger plane. She and her sister PH-BFH were slightly different as they could be reconfigured between combi to pax, and were ordered by KLM as such. She was never reconverted to combi cargo after 2012.

When she retired, she had 10587 cycles, for a total of 92034 hours.

She was scrapped in Mojave. You can find plenty of footage of that process on the following instagram account : @diecastjames

Overall, I think this is a fantastic gift and a creative way to celebrate Flying Blue. It really shows how much AF-KLM cares about their aviation history and their very unique relationship to certain aircraft types.

Truly jealous not to be Ulti.

If you really can grasp the life and history of these two aircrafts, their importance ... This is like receiving an Oscar.
