BA Concorde in UAL hanger

I was lucky enough to catch the Concorde on it's farewell tour in the fall of 2003 during a stopover in BOS. I got to tour G-BOAD while it was in UAL's hanger (above) then walked around it again on the International Arrivals building before it departed for New York. (below)
