Watch live as the British Airways Concorde returns to the Intrepid Museum after being refurbished.

The retired supersonic jet was taken back to a Manhattan pier on Thursday 14 March, following a seven-month restoration.

It travelled by barge up the Hudson River before being lifted by a crane onto Pier 86.

The needle-nosed aircraft left Pier 86 on 9 August 2023 for a restoration project at the Brooklyn Navy Yard that included sanding and repainting.

It was barged from Brooklyn to a Jersey City, New Jersey, dock for storage overnight Wednesday, prior to being reinstalled on the pier a day later.

The Concorde is the only supersonic commercial jet that ever flew.

The Intrepid’s British Airways Concorde still holds the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger aircraft - 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds from London Heathrow to New York’s John F Kennedy airport.
