@bil - interesting stuff, just had a quick check of the website and it looks very good.
A little bemused by the special privilege allegedly reserved for the ‘Royal Family’ - would this be the British Royal Family ? If so, are they regular visitors to the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, I wonder .......?

And at the Air & Space Museum in Seattle where "my" Concorde sits, open for inspection, BOAG. There's an AF Concorde at the IAD branch of the Smithsonian for those on this side of the Atlantic. Is there a link for the Bristol Do?

Seat assignments were seemingly often a niggle even for supersonic jetsetters. I was half-expecting to spot a post from you in this thread, back in the day when Concorde was still flying, but then realised that (like me) you weren’t an FT member at the time ...........

The Concorde at the (Scottish) National Museum of Flight at East Fortune Airfield, just outside Edinburgh lets you inside with no booking etc necessary. You can poke around in the galley opening storage lockers etc; you can't go into the cockpit, and you're not supposed to sit on the seats (there is a tape barrier, but if no-one's looking .... )
