Orange cloth ones - very much like any old 1970s aeroplance seat.
Beige cloth and leather
Beige cloth and leather but with integrated head rest
Blue leather seats - fitted on only on the few planes that were upgraded after Paris (The Concorde at East Fortune still has the third set of seats)

The dates the seats were fitted are included on the displays but I can't remember them exactly.
Although a full seven sets of seats were ordered for the 2001 refit, the East Fortune and the Heathrow aircraft never had them fitted. Some of them have already gone under the auctioneer's hammer.
