However although I can see both planes together in the flesh, the Google Earth photos are hopelessly out of date :-( Here's the Museum http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=sinsheim&sll=49.376551,8.667794&sspn=0.012266,0.029182&ie=UTF8&ll=49.23924,8.897654&spn=0.001538,0.003648&t=k&z=18&iwloc=addr&om=1 but unfortunately you don't see the planes yet.</p> I did want to point you to a place where Concorde and Konkordski can be seen side by side: The Technik Museum in Sinsheim, Germany (http://www.museum-sinsheim.de).
