Having just received my copy of Building Concorde by Tony Buttler and Jean Christophe Carbonel I leafed to the part with Concorde's dimensions to settle a point that has been vexing me for years - fuselage length of prototype/pre-production/production aircraft. Lengths in SI units made no sense, with the prototype's length given as 64.16m, pre-production 67.51m and production 61.66m. Length in Imperial measures looked better:- prototype 184ft 4.5in - 56.20m- pre-production 194ft 0in - 59.13m- production 202ft 3.6 in - 61.66mA minor glitch in an otherwise excellent book.
