Concorde gifts

Following up on the comment by norodnik re gifts.
On my only trip in 1979 we were given a cassette tape. One "side" had some Concorde specific comedy routines, I remember a Tony Hancock skit and I think a Robert Morley talk. However the other "side" had various people from the design team talking about the technical challenges involved. Fascinating stuff. I always remember the comment that one of the controlling design factors was the thermal limits on the various materials. My copy was borrowed permanently and I now regret not taking better care of it at the time.
I wondered if any one here remembers contributing to the technical talk, or if anyone has a copy of the tape which could be made available? Would BA have an archived copy?

Fascinating thread. Thanks to all.
