After undergoing extensive refurbishment, a Concorde aircraft has been floated on a barge down the Hudson River in New York to return to the museum where it resides. This Franco-British jet, which last flew across the Atlantic in 2003, had been housed at the Intrepid Museum until it was removed for refurbishment in August 2023; it has now been returned to the museum. Leslie Scott, a former Concorde pilot said: 'I've never seen it look so good. I mean, it is a beautiful, beautiful job that the Intrepid have managed to do. As I said, when I used to fly it, it didn't look like that'
