When Concorde retired in 2003 I requested from British Airways and was given 2 ECU PCBs as a souvenir.
There were of course 8 ECUs on each aircraft, 2 per engine. Each ECU had about 20 different PCBs. I have sometimes wondered just what the function was of my 2 PCBs. Maybe someone knows or has the relevant ECU Overhaul Manual. I have already asked various organisations for help - Ultra Electronics the manufacturers of the ECUs, British Airways, Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust and some museums. I've had some helpful replies but no actual answers.
Marked on the PCBs ae their drawing numbers: 46546-629-0 and 46456-602-0.
I have tried to attach some photos but there seems to be some forum setting that's preventing this!
Thanks


Rolls Royce will hold a copy of the CMM for the ECU. Airbus probably do as well.

Whether either of them would release it to you, even now, I am doubtful.

Trying to find a picture but didnt the black boxes have the Lucas Aerospace green flash logo on them ? I remember seeing that on the Tornado / RB199 MECU & DECU Black Boxes and being amazed that Lucas made both. Shouldn't have been so surprised though

Concorde engine sells on ebay:
Concorde Engine Finally Sells On eBay, Afterburner Included (msn.com)

The Concorde turbojet engine spent years listed on eBay before it finally sold for \xa3565,000 (or $714,500). This particular Rolls-Royce Olympus turbojet spent its service life fitted to a British Airways Concorde. It\x92s been 20 years since the supersonic airliner\x92s final flight, but the Concorde is still remembered fondly as emblematic of a more ambitious era of commercial aviation.
