Attached is a placemark folder where you can (almost) see Concorde G-BBDG being reconstructed at the Brooklands museum.
The main body without tail and nose is under the white tent and parts of wings are on the right (second placemark).
Now G-BBDG is in plain air but we'll have to wait until next upgrade of this area to see the Beauty nearly reconstructed !

These photo (from the link above) shows what we see in GE :
Thanks to Oliew from http://www.af001.com forum for having spotted her

Here is a placemark of the latest part of the body of Concorde F-BVFD wich was dismantled 
It's in Dugny, near Le Bourget.
No plan to show it to public or to restore it for now
F-BVFD did an "heavy landing" in Dakar in November 1977 and was repaired but she was retired from service and dismantled in 1994.
Her nose was sold to a rich american in on 16 March 1995 for FF300,000 (~€45,730).
(Infos from http://www.concordesst.com)
Thanks to Oliew on http://www.af001.com for providing exact placemark
Placemark deleted to replace it with a realigned one due to imagery update (see post below)

Fox Fox static display has been inaugurated last friday (the 4th) by Aeroports de Paris officials and Air France president (Jean-Cyril Spinetta, see photo) with a few officials.
It was raining as if the skies were crying for not seeing Concorde flying anymore
She's now on display and lights are active by night.

i think its time to remove the zipped plan as the museum is visible (in high res) for long....
Nice work you've done. I just found that the placemark for the concorde at the Sinsheim Museum is not at the exact position, as I know 'cos I often take the E50 (aka A6) and it's right aside of the Autobahn - and permanetly causes a traffic-jam. Maybe you want to compare with the town maps that I try to attach.
The concorde (and tupolew) are on the west part of the museum area.

Thanks to all the hard work by various other contributors on this thread, I now have more exact locations for a number of the aircraft.
The placemark file on my server has been updated, but since it's using a network link you should pick up the changes automatically without having to do another download.
