Again, thank you for the comments about the videos. It's amazing how few people were around when that Concorde landed a long way down 32 on 15th June 1996. Does anyone else have any footage from a different viewing place?

I believe that the sound that you can hear when the front wheels touch down was the alarm from the Fire Station. I also heard a story that BA engineers had to come up to the airport overnight from Heathrow to check out the brakes and undercarriage before the aircraft could fly again the next day. Perhaps someone could confirm? I also believe that the pilot had problems with dazzling from the sun, which is logical given the time of year and the north-westerly approach to the runway.

Looking at the number of viewings on You Tube, it appears that most are for footage on the links above. The others I have since put on are as follows:-

YouTube - Corsair Boeing 747SP take-off at Leeds/Bradford Airport

YouTube - Concorde LBA 32 Landing2

YouTube - Concorde 32 Take off & landing at Leeds Bradford Airport

YouTube - VIA Tu 154 14 Take off at Leeds/Bradford Airport

YouTube - Concorde late 32 landing at Leeds/Bradford Airport

YouTube - Concorde 32 take off at Leeds Bradford Airport

I do have one or two more, including the Iberia A300 on Euro 96 day, which is currently uploading to You Tube and should be on tomorrow.

After that, there isn't much else that I can add.

Thanks again for the appreciative comments.
