Many memories
There was some argument about spelling it without the 'e' (Concord) but the French won that argument.
I was at Lechlade when the first flight landed at Fairford. Huge crowds at the riverbank enjoying the spectacle.
I lived in North Swindon - near the Arkells brewery and (when outdoors) could hear the plane on take off when full power was applied.
Years earlier, when at school, went to a lecture by Sir Barnes Wallis. Biggest laugh came when he said of the Americans "I told them not to use titanium!"
I was in Hong Kong when Imelda Marcos visited on Concorde for a shopping trip which was also a sales pitch for the aircraft.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
