Barbados Concorde Experience

Categories: Shoreside Activities & Events
Locations: Caribbean & Central America, Barbados

A trip to the Concorde exhibition hangar at the Grantley Adams International Airport facility comes highly recommended for its nostalgic appeal and the sheer beauty of getting ‘up close and personal’ with the resident British Airways G-BOAE supersonic aircraft (affectionately called ‘Alpha Echo’), which now lives in the hangar. Various informative exhibits and video presentations accompany the whole experience, which aptly portrays the history of Concorde’s 7,000 commercial flights at airspeeds of twice the speed of sound – which enabled passengers to cross the Atlantic and sometimes arrive in Barbados 10 minutes before they set off from London (local GMT)!
