Thanks to PeteUK post in Fun and Games now you can see a "new" Concorde in GE 
This is a approx. 2 meters long model wich is located in the Madurodam park in Den Haag (La Haye).
This park recreats parts of Holland in miniature and this Concorde model is located in the La Haye Airport replica.

See attached placemark for the location 
Thanks to PeteUK for helping me finding the place back

Due to the recent (8th June 2006) imagery update, the Caribean islands are now in High Resolution.
So the Barbados Airport (Grantley Adams Internationnal Airport) is concerned 
You can know see the "tent" that protects Concorde G-BOAE.
See attached placemark to see it

On the 26th of July 2006 G-BBDG, wich has been fully restored, has been officially opened to public !

All the photos are, as usual, available on Jame's website : http://concorde-photos.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=117
Once again I want to highlight the fantastic work that the volonteers at Brooklands Museum did in a little more than 2 years (as I said in the previous post).
Girls and guys at Brooklands : YOU ROCKS !!!!

I found once a Concorde over a Boat, just by an US Carrier. Is it possible? Maybe by the USS Intrepid, but right now there isn,t no plane.

I answered to your PM but the answer can interrest people here so : Concorde G-BOAD sits on a barge near the Intrepid Museum in New-York but the imagery of this area has been replaced by older but more precise photos. So in GE you cannot see Alpha-Delta on her barge 
Attached is a placemark with an overlay showing actual view of this area 
You can also notice that the planes on the Intrepid have moved in between the 2 photos 
Here are 2 recent (07/16/06) photos of Alpha Delta on her barge : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1083943/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1090841/L/
And some older but closer ones : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1065967/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1000503/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0950808/L/

I am preparing a brand new Concorde Compendium containing all the placemarks given here plus some additions.
I don't know if Zmarties is still around but I'd like to get in touch with him either to update its file or to replace it by mine when it is ready

G-CONC is the immatriculation of the 1/3 Concorde scale model (in fact it's more a 1/2.5 scale model ) which was on a roundabout near London Heathrow Airport, UK.

It will be replaced soon by a double-deck (and ugly ) A380 model from Emirates.
There was some worries about G-CONC but the good news is that it has been disassembled carefully and been moved to the Brooklands Museum where volonteers will take good care of it
