British Airways had donated the model to the Brooklands Museum in Surrey to recognise the huge part Brooklands had played in the development and manufacture of all Concordes. Over the next few years, a team of up to 30 volunteers restored the Heathrow Model Concorde to its former glory.

The famous 1:3 scale model of the Concorde that sat at the entrance to London Heathrow Airport (at the tunnel entrance to Terminals 1, 2, and 3) was removed in 2007. It was a landmark for decades, but it was replaced by a model of an Emirates Airbus A380 when the airline outbid others for the advertising space. The original Concorde model was then moved to the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge, where it underwent a significant restoration. As for the actual retired Concorde aircraft at Heathrow (G-BOAB), as of 2026, it remains parked near the British Airways engineering hangars. While it is occasionally moved for maintenance or special staff events, it is unfortunately not open to the general public for tours. A supportive peer tip: if you want to actually step inside a Concorde in the UK today, you should visit the Aerospace Bristol museum or the Imperial War Museum Duxford, as the Heathrow "model" and the airframe itself are currently off-limits to daily travelers.
