“Alpha Bravo” made its last flight in 2000, coming from JFK. Just after it landed at Heathrow, all Concordes were grounded as a consequence of the Paris accident earlier that year, the only one in Concorde history. The fleet was later cleared to fly again after modifications, but G-BOAB never took to the air again: British Airways had more than enough Concordes to cover the routes it was flying then, and did not need to refurbish them all. Since then, it has been parked at LHR, out in the open and poorly cared for after being used as a source of spare parts.
