Those four years over me clearly make all the difference in clarity of memory.

Chatted with my father a few days ago about this. I remember the programme had some visions of the future, including a military Concorde armed with three Blue Steel missiles! However, gather the programme was lost during a house move a few years ago, which is a shame. However, he remembers a later airshow at Abingdon, where Concorde made its first appearance at the airshow. I missed that, as that weekend they sent me to boy scout camp nearby, learning woodcraft skills but looking up every time something interesting flew over.

Suspect that makes me a museum piece as well!
