Sad news in difficult times. A truly beautiful and aeroplane and a triumph of engineering that will never be surpassed.
I used to love watch Concorde speed gracefully down the Bristol channel on my radar screen at Yeovilton when I was a Freddie, or her French counterpart down the channel when at sea. Radar and auto track system use to track it perfectly - loads of doppler!
Wonder if some sort of heritage trust or something to maybe keep one aircraft flying doing a once a week out of EGLL and once a week out of LFPG or something. Dreams dreams dreams
Speedbird 1, cleared to aeroplane heaven, RIP.
