count to a million

198 can be formed by concatenating 19 and 8. Note that 19 is the 8th prime number. Curiously, 198 is the (19*8)nd composite number!

( Anybody explain that to me?)

Notes The Production test aircraft were again different in many ways necessitating re-covering certain areas to obtain certification and it was really these two aircraft (201 and 202) that did the bulk of the flying. However, even though called Production aircraft they never went into service as the final version was different yet again although in no way that would effect handling or performance certification.
The most important differences were structural. In all, therefore, there were six development aircraft, two Prototypes, two Pre-Production and two Production aircraft.
Info By Peter Baker, BAC Concorde Flight Test Pilot
In the late 1970's the brown "Presidential" leather seat interior was removed from Concorde 02, and put in the rear cabin of 201, where it remains to this day.
201 flew regularly until 1982, After this it is understood she was stored in near flight readness at Chateauroux. She was ferried back to Toulouse in 1985 The aircraft can be visted in Toulouse for more details see the Taxiway website. The aircraft is well worth the vist, but unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures from inside the Airbus plant. Hopefully this will change when their new aviation museum opens with Concorde 209 on show alongside 201

After the completion of these tests, 204 along with the ill fated 203 (F-BTSC), was used alongside the airlines on route proving duties around the world. Alpha Charlie was mainly based in Bahrain but also flew some routes out of Singapore.
The aircraft was retuned to BAC in 1976 after completing 141 flights to be refurbished for airliner service. G-BOAC was officially delivered to BA on the 13th Feb 1976.
As G-BOAC is the oldest Concorde in the BA fleet, although not the oldest officially owned by BA (that honour falls to G-BOAA), it is also the heaviest; mainly due to the fact that it was one of the first built and the other aircraft all benefited from the design being tweaked and the weight being reduced as production went along. British Airways consider Alpha Charlie as the flagship of their Flagship fleet as it carries the letters 'BOAC' Which were also the initials of the British Overseas Airways Corporation, the forerunner, along with British European Airlines, to British Airways. G-BOAC was the aircraft chosen to launch the Washington service on the 26th of May 1976

G-BOAC returns to Heathrow after her Verification airtest on July11th 2002. This was 204's first flight in 23 months. At the end of the airtest, Alpha Charile taxied straight back to the BA technical base. G-BOAC has just arrived at Heathrow Airport from JFK, New York G-BOAC taxies to the end of runway 09R at Heathrow in preparation for departure, in July 2000
