THE Yorkshire Air Museum near York has been shortlisted as a possible home for one of Britain's redundant Concordes.
British Airways announced today that from 60 sites around the world, 12 were now being considered as homes to base its supersonic aircraft, including the air museum at Elvington.
Museum director Ian Reed said: "Obviously, we are delighted. It would be the making of the museum and would be a first for York and indeed for Yorkshire."
BA revealed that it was considering a plan that could see the supersonic aircraft performing at airshows and doing fly-pasts.
