Locking up 'Concorde'
I have asked this question on 'Technology' and as yet had no replies; At the end of the day I lock my car up and take the keys indoors, when 'Concorde' was still flying did anyone lock the door at the end of its day's flights? And if so where were the keys put?

There are specific things that have to be done to open a door or other entrane, however and only those traained or knowledgeable of the systems could do so. Additionally, the door locks on small Cessna, Piper and other such airplanes are notoriously unreliable and usually can be opened with a substitute key, such as a car key or house key. They're more of a deterrent than an actual safe lock.
