WTF?!

‘Runway Visitor Park, Manchester. UK
British Airways Concorde G-BOAC

Manchester carries out some super tours where you are allowed to sit in the pilot’s seat and touch the flight deck controls, this remains the only Concorde within the UK where you are able to do this during your visit to the aircraft. A past employee at the museum caused an incredible amount of damage to the aircraft, which included broken re-heat switches, broken captains DV window, shattered co-pilots windscreen and visor panel, damage rear baggage compartment door and various other minor damage. The member of the staff at Manchester tried to remove the side glass panel on the visor with a screwdriver and a drill and slipped, he has since left Manchester. Seatbelts have had to be removed, due to some visitors cutting them off during their visit to the aircraft.’
