Isn't in the annex of a College? Think I saw this a few days ago.
Would have been interesting seeing how they managed to get it into such a small space.
Most amazing thing is that it still has power for some of is electrical systems - droop nose, wipers & the front canards (if that's the correct word).
How has it retained enough power to do that?

Probably plugged into the mains.Would have been interesting seeing how they managed to get it into such a small space.

I love how those canards retract.
Just had a look at wikipedia on the Tu144, this anecdote is great:
"With the accumulated failures, an alarm siren went off immediately after the takeoff with sound and volume similar to that of a civil defense warning. The crew could not figure a way to switch it off and the siren stayed on throughout the remaining 75 minutes flight. Eventually the captain ordered the navigator to borrow a pillow from the passengers and stuff it inside the siren's horn. Luckily, all landing gear extended and the aircraft was able to land."
