It was a wet and rainy day. On my way to the museum from the hotel, only about a thousand meters, I got a thorough soaking. That Caravelle is a very very pretty aircraft, right up there with the Comet.
This is a very special machine, a one-off prototype of the Mirage 4000. Indeed, twice as much as the regular Mirage 2000 we all know and love. It was too much airplane, and never got sold.
Interestingly the forward fuselage seemed to have some area ruling, leading to sunken cheeks, like it’s been fasting or something. 1990s emaciated supermodel looks 
Rain threatened and I ducked back inside. Along some lovingly kept warbirds (a Mustang, a Spit IX, a FW190 and a Dewoitine) was this absolute unit of a fighterbomber. Holy heck what a thing! Notice the door with a porthole in the fuselage. If we build the thing like a brick sh!thouse, why not put a door in?
The main course. The Mona Lisa of aviation in my opinion. Displayed together are a line bird and the first prototype, allowing one to spot differences and changes.
The prototypes exhaust nozzles (note it has thrust reversers, I never knew!)
The ones on the line bird. Notice how the fighter style turkey feathers are omitted for a much simpler and probably more efficient installation.
Speedy bird is happy bird, even while resting in a museum.
Interesting to see how the space between the inlet ramps is “naked”. You get a view of raw plane guts.
So pretty. A poem of science and ambition. Also very well kept.
One was allowed to walk through the exhibits. Here are the cockpit shots. These birds were highly complicated, needing to pump fuel around in order to stay in trim.
The interior was cramped. I had to walk stooped and the windows are tiny.
Tickets were quite expensive, about as much or a little more than a first class ticket on a regular flight. Passengers got a lot of leg room, and a mach meter up front that would go way beyond 1.0 after they made feet wet.
A cool thing about this museum is that they had some of the displays accessible to blind people:
So that was Concorde. TBC.
