I'm still very surprised that the BBC haven't dragged out the old documentary about Concorde with Noel Edmunds presenting. It was a very unique and enlightening program with fantastic internal and external video shots. Now that would be worth seeing again.

BA

BAA

Fifty year LHR anniversary, and a huge flypast, several aircraft past and present, 30 minute area disruption, bloody good show. BAA can't be seen to disrupt LHR again, especially seeing as though it's not them who'll get the publicity.

Why are we giving our national pride to the USA, no, firmly and bloody well no again. Keep all the aircraft here where they will be appreciated and kept pristine, instead of rotting in some lost backwater museum. Giving one to seattle, seems to kick back to Boeings SST, here guys have one of ours and see if you can do it right this time. Barbados, can't fathom that one out. USS whatsitsname, some where no one goes anymore, can't figure that one out either.

Rant over

Sorry if I offended anyone, but then a piece of history is being written on the 24th. The history of british aviation once again goes stateside. (Whittle + jet engine) for example.
