I agree Buster, there will be a first time only once, but having to mix with hundreds of thousands of yobbos to achiev e that is not for me.

Besides, I'm on the other side of the world.

I recall I saw the Concorde on its first ever landing into Australia. I was about 100 metres wide of the threshold of RW11 in Darwin, back in about '71 or '72, camera in hand. Pity the big blow job of Christmas '74 took all the pics with it, or I could post a few.

There were only two of us watching that day.

If I was there and I could guarantee no crowds, then I'd be watching for sure.
