Prestwick was used quite a lot for Concorde training around that time, although it was usually British Airways ones. There were two prototypes, then two pre-production aircraft. On its first visit to Prestwick, this is the second pre-production one, 102, built at Toulouse. First Concorde to fly to the United States Dallas, Texas. In 1976 it was retired from development flying and put on public display at Orly Airport, Paris. It was painted in British Airways colours on the other side.
