On the 21st January 1976, I operated the 11am LHR-JFK service. At the Flight Planning desk I found myself standing next to the Concorde crew who were about to operate the first scheduled commercial service.
Captain Trubshaw noticed that I had just bought a First Day Cover of the flight, and asked me if I would like the crew to sign it. It now has pride of place on my study wall. He was an absolute gentleman, and took time to ask me about my career and hopes for the future.
Aviation has lost a great ambassador.
