Collectors are strange, especially collectors from Dubai. They more or less want anything they can get their hands on. This time they have set their eyes on British Airways' last Concorde. This plane is called the Alpha Bravo and might have a different fate than being showcased at Heathrow. It seems that now it is destined to be chopped into pieces and shipped to Dubai. No, you cannot fly it to Dubai as it hasn't received the safety upgrade that the others got after that 2000 Paris crash. I don't know, it feels like this plane should stay in England with some dignity and not be sent off to Dubai, where who knows what use they will put it to!
