God.. how I'd LOVED to have been there and how much I envy Ivor S - good on yer, mate! I was on the other side of the world and had to watch events on telly and read about it in the papers. I consider myself very fortunate to have shared my career with the "pocket rocket", having been on watch when the first flights were made into Heathrow - and a few good stories can be told about those! Also, a Concorde crew remains the only one ever to have rewarded my incredible skills with a bottle of bubbly. (LL Tower - ask Swampy about that!!)
We lose an amazing machine due to cretins.... but that's life all over.
Best regards to all my chums at LL and TC.
