Lasting memory of Concorde was driving on the Stanwell Moor Road ( the one between the reservoirs on the SW corner of LHR ) and just coming up to the airport entry roundabout when the beast hurtles past of of 27L noise a massive hail of what looked like dust sucked up into the tip vortices and spiralling away behind it, burners going full blast - gone in a couple of seconds but a memory for ever .m other one was watching the last ever flight from JFK descending over Camberley where I then lived headed for Ockham.
