Concorde nose cone up for auction
Collectors will bid on a rare piece of aviation history this week when a nose cone from the original Concorde passenger plane goes to auction in the United Kingdom.
The 11ft (3.35m) tall cone is said to be the only unused nose cone from the few that were originally made for the Concorde fleet in the 1970s.
The BBC reported a price of between GBP 45,000 ($79,730) and GBP 60,000 ($106,000) has been set by JP Humbert Auctioneers in Towcester, Northamptonshire.
