Bid On Concorde Parts - From Machmeter To Toilet Seats (VIDEO)
From Machmeter To Toilet Seats

Here’s your chance to own a piece of aviation history! Parts of the Concorde, the only supersonic passenger plane ever to operate commercially, will be auctioned off.

“Among the most symbolic items for the plane’s many fans, however, will be a ‘Machmeter’ weighing just over a kilo and offered at a suggested price of 1,500-2,000 euros,” Yahoo News said.

That sounds like it could get pretty pricey. A lot of guys would be excited enough about owning an official toilet seat or piece of silverware!

Hundreds of components of the Concorde supersonic jetliner, from headsets to toilet seats, are attracting strong bidding in a French auction which relives the era of luxury travel at twice the speed of sound. Items being sold to raise money for a museum include a pair of toilet seats weighing 5.8 kilos (12.79 lb) and available for auction prices starting at 400 euros ($567.4) each. For the same asking price, collectors can bid for a Concorde pilot's headset. A laminated cockpit window panel went for 3,100 euros, 10 times the asking price, at the start of the auction on Friday. If space is not a problem, the auction includes a couple of one-tonne Concorde landing gears on which the bidding starts at 2,000-3,000 euros -- wheels not supplied. (news.yahoo)
