Malcolm Ford has built a Concorde in his garage.
But now he's faced with getting the flying machine south to Taranaki to its new art collector owner. He's not sure how that will happen.
However, what Mr Ford can confirm is the intricate sculpture won't be flying under its own steam. It's not the first time the 87-year-old from Whangarei has built a Concorde plane.
He has spent the past three months carefully crafting the Konk-Korde Mark 2 version after the first went up in flames.
In 1996 he sold the first model, named Konk-Korde, but Mr Ford was not sure who had bought it. It was only in February this year that he learned where his sculpture had flown to and of its unscheduled demise.
