I wonder whether this may be for photo opportunities?
UPJ is also on the ground all day today...

So a twitter reply from the paintshop (IAC) to Dave Wallsworth seems to suggest that Negus is being rolled out tomorrow (Thursday)...

I believe there is a photoshoot planned with the four retrojets and Concorde planned.

I've seen a 747 with a space shuttle on top. Concorde shouldn't be too heavy, surely?

Good news. Probably helps tick off the Concorde part of the BA100 celebrations.

The 747s used by NASA were modified to take the orbiter's weight, with additional interior support (details here), although one had previously been in commercial service with JAL.

Thanks for that link. When I mentioned I'd seen a 747 with the Shuttle on top, I meant actually flying. It was (as per the NASA link) NASA 905 carrying Enterprise on tour in Europe in 1983. I was in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire when they flew right overhead.

Of the retro liveries, I like the Landor the best, it still looks sharp.

Was hoping to get a better one in SFO but wasn’t able to see after getting off.
