thread wander ....once heard a story that the Concorde was built on the same jigs as the scrapped TSR2 , seems unlikely , but possibly the wings had some similarity since they were both designed and built near Bristol , (Filton? /Fulton? )

Its Filton steeljack, I was actually working in Filton Bristol when Concord made its first test flight, when it was taking of there were road barriors which closed much like a level crossing, it was a truely great sight watching this majestic plane take off, just like a huge white bird
