The Intrepid Air and Space Museum in New York City has announced that its Concorde exhibit,
which is on long-term loan from British Airways,
will receive a much-needed external repaint over the coming winter.
The Concorde involved, registered G-BOAD,
was the fourth production Concorde off the line in Filton, near Bristol in the United Kingdom,
and spent its entire career flying for British Airways.

The British Airways Concorde, one of the fastest commercial aircraft in the world,
was temporarily removed from the Intrepid Museum for restoration on Wednesday.
The supersonic jet was removed from the Intrepid Sea and Space Museum by crane
and placed on a barge to be relocated to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The restoration process includes sanding and stripping the plane down to bare metal and is expected to take about three months.
