Talking

I dunno what the tape is called because it is a pirated copy (its a fair cop JPJ) but it is a recording at some sort of function or party. In one section of the tape he appears to be acting as a instructor for trainee 747 pilots and is talking them through ATC and flight deck procedures. Also many jokes about Concorde, 747 take offs from Birmingham, working at LATCC etc etc.

There'a terrific reference to the reason why Britain never built a military Concorde. Because it flies faster than a bullet an armed Conc was in danger of shooting itself down. ;-)

If there is another tape I'll snap it up immediately.
