Looking at the display map I had, the one with the v-shaped tail, top center of the photo is the Stanley Nomad. The Arlington is barely visible at top right.

It probably won't make you feel any better to learn we have have a BA Concorde at the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum in New York, and there's another at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Personally, I would have been more than happy with just one. :)

Thanks to all for the links : very interesting, and I wonder why the V tail was never followed up in Europe?
