Congratulations to all involved in the show tonight that will never be repeated (Unless it was a rehearsal for Friday )

I have been feeing downhearted all week at never seeing Concorde fly again after this Friday, but tonight's spectacle of a parallel approach to Heathrow has cheered me up!

It was truly a sight to behold as I was close to the entrance plaza to the T5 site as those magnificent flying machines approached.

The sound of 8 Olympus (Olympi?) engines in reverse after touchdown left no doubt as to what had arrived. I am only sorry I didn't have the camera with me

Is there going to be a repeat on Friday (And was this the only way to practise a parallel approach ???)

Regards,

Shuttlebus
