HISTORY

 

Registered F-WJAN to Aerospatiale.

1978 - Dec 26

Maiden flight from Toulouse.

1980 - Oct 23

Delivered to Air France and re-registered as F-BVFF.

1986

The first Air France Concorde to complete an around the world charter flight. The aircraft would subsequently undertake 12 more around the world flights before its retirement.

2000 - Jun 11

A charter flight would turn out to be the last time F-BVFF flew. The aircraft was subsequently withdrawn from service for planned maintenance work. After the Paris crash the necessary upgrades were not completed before the announcement to stop Concorde services, and so it was never to fly again.

Final Resting Place

F-BVFF is kept in storage at Charles de Gaulle Airport. There are plans to put the aircraft on display at some point in the future.
