U TUBE clip
It's early in the morning here in Oz and I have just watched this clip again, and again,and again, one of the best I have seen.
I was in Sydney for it's first arrival and remember myself and a half dozen of my new Aussie friends stood on top of my old Consul on top of the TAA car park surrounded by hundreds of people.
Concorde swept in for it's landing and after it came to a halt everyone started clapping and cheering and as I was then a dyed in the wool Pom I was amazed at the reaction.
At a later press conference, according to legend, a petulant journalist asked the captain whether he was aware of the "terror" he had inflicted on the indigenous people in the heart of australia by flying so fast, the BOOM would have terrified them. The retort from an English journalist was supposedly "how many of them are there, and here's five quid for cotton wool for their ears"
Oh for the days of political incorrectness.
A long and rambling missive for me to say thankyou for the link. PJ
