Was sailing back from Cherbourg to the Solent one summer's day in (IIRC) the late 80s.

Gin clear day and saw Concorde (Air France to South America??) going like stink NE to SW. Got the boom, which also ruffled our (quite large) sails more than somewhat. Fan-bl%%dy-tastic!

Shame that'll never happen again..... :
