Concorde was a bit 'different' to the aircraft most of us fly and perhaps required a bit more TLC. The F/E was generally fairly busy even in normal ops - and all the crew were busy when the QRH was pulled out, which I believe was a fairly regular event.

I'm very reliably told that had the aircraft been designed today it is unlikely it would have met the certification standards.

I went to JFK and back once on the Flight Deck and it was a pleasure to watch three professionals work so well together.

Those two sectors went without a hitch I might add.
