Another memory of Concorde was when I was flying for a "leading" leisure airline on the A320. We often flew to Funchal (Madeira) from Manchester and the flight times were such that very often on climb out past Brecon we would hear "Speedbird Concorde" on climb out from LHR on its way to JFK.
Not a lot thats too notable about that you might say except that we then often heard it on descent on its way back into LHR. The only difference is that we had flown to Funchal and back (Flight Time approx 3.45 each way) but in the same time Concorde had been to JFK and back! You could almost set your watch by it.
Tributes must also go to everyone who has been involved in Concorde's operation from manufacture through to airline service. I guess that flying a supersonic airliner can be quite challenging and all credit to the crews who have flown her so successfully over the years. This must of course include the crews of Air France and our condolences still go to families and friends of those lost in the Paris accident. Sometimes pioneers have to take the arrows - lets hopes its not too long before another SST appears in our skies again.
