2. G-ASGO being towed across what is most likely London Airport, with a BEA Vanguard in the background.
3. G-ASGO at what must be an airfield in the USA, with some interested visitors looking on as the aircraft is prepared for the return flight.
4. After the hijack: G-ASGO is left on the runway with large amounts of water streaming through the fuselage, and out the drainmasts.

1. Another shot of G-ASGO parked beside Hangar 8 at Schiphol's maintenance base.
2. G-ASGO during dismantling at Schiphol airport, you can see the large hole in front of the rear door where the fuselage section for the museum was removed.
3. Scrappers work fast, it doesn't take long to reduce an airliner to a pile of metal.
Just hit 'play' to go to 13:00 in this video, where the first flight of G-ASGO is shown from the outside. Part of the take-off as filmed from the inside is from another flight on G-ASGG (based on the radio chatter and runway designation). From a 1969 BBC documentary about Brian Trubshaw, 'Man Alive - A Man Called Trubshaw A Plane Called Concorde'.
