Just scroll up a little bit by Dead Horse Bay and next to Flatbush Avenue you will see a big white building. Even if you don't zoom in you can make out the Concorde. Sorry but I didn’t link probably.

It is in Brooklyn at the now defunct airport so little known, yet so wonderful Floyd Bennett Field. One old hangar was restored to a sport complex and next to it rests this beautiful plane. It will be moved back to the Museum when it will reopen. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=floyd%20bennett%20field&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS227US227&um=1&sa=N&tab=wl The missing Concorde from Intrepid Air and Space Museum, New York is actually not too far from that right now.

Aircraft 211 was scrapped when it became unnecessary after Air France cancelled the Paris-Dakar-Rio route. 211 was chosen due to weight limitations from repairs after a hard landing in Dakar. 211 parts were used to bring 214 back to service after moisture contamination in the hydraulic fluid grounded it for a year. That is probably where this "story" came from. @John Dare

I have been advised by a regular 'know-it-all' that one of the Concorde aircraft was scrapped because a 'mechanic' (??) allegedly put the 'wrong' hydraulic fluid into its hydraulic system. Has anyone heard this 'story' and is it just that, ie a storybook 'tale'? Thanks in advance. Can someone please help settle what I believe is a hoax.
