The Dornier Do-31 was a German STOL transport aircraft developed by Dornier Flugzeugwerke in the 1960s. It was intended to replace the aging Dornier Do-27 and Dornier Do-28 aircraft in German military service, and was ordered into production in 1967. The Do-31 made its first flight in 1968, but the project was cancelled in 1970 due to cost overruns and changing military requirements.

Unlike the production Concordes which had reverse thrust buckets visible on the outsiude, this has them internally. Like the air intake, Concorde had a variable-geometry exhaust system.
The tail is a lovely shape :-)
One of the many instrument panels. These were in the cabin and are in addition to the pilot & flight engineer panels.
The delta wing is a wing planform in the form of a triangle, named after the Greek uppercase delta which is a triangle. Concorde used a fly-by wire system though it was an analogue one. Having no tailplane, the ailerons and elevators are combined and are called elevons.
This is the UK's pre-production Concorde 101 (also known as 01). The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde aircraft was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, a supersonic transport (SST). It was a product of an Anglo-French government treaty, combining the manufacturing efforts of Aérospatiale and the British Aircraft Corporation. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued for 27 years. G-AXDN

The Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI) also known as an Attitude Indicator (AI) This gyroscopic is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the aircraft relative to earth. This is not the instrument situated on the flight deck.
Partially fitted out with seats.
The Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) display instrument. This shows the temperature of the exhaust gases. The red barber-pole is known as a flag.
