It has 3 shadows, apparently taken in sequence as it climbed: one to the NNW, one at NW and a third due West. I know that the photos comprise a mosaic, but I'm curious. Why 3 shadows but only one plane? If you scroll left, you see a plane that has just taken off from runway 27 heading west, over a construction site.

Mark got it right about "model" and "not model". The not model is infact G-BOAB, a real life concorde. It has recently been moved from the position shown here due to some work at Heathrow. And is currently parked next to where the planes used to cross the road to get to the hangers. (Scroll right) I believe she is waiting for a permenant new home at T5.

As they can't fly it out and moving that wingspan by road's not feasible, there it sits until they decide to use it to train the fire crews. ‘cos inside’s full of planes being worked on and earning ‘em dosh.

Remember this is not the one on the roundabout which Mark found...

Trust me I've seen it with my own eyes its no where near the full size.. Its been sitting there for display as long as I can remember. I live very near to the airport and these new updates on google seem to be very recent. The last update was from around 2 years ago I guess (judging by the cars we had and the building works around us). From the direction of the shadows I can tell you that this was taken very early in the morning. Im also happy to see the updated pictures of my house :D but the time of day these pictures were taken have let me down :( That is a scale model of a concord.
