Back before BA got ETOPS clearance for the 777, they were running them from London to Paris. I was airside at TN4 when one of these came in...the very latest thing in the skies. As the passengers (mostly Americans) made their way to Immigration, they got on the travelator...which took them past the stand where Concorde sat. Things went crazy... out came the cameras and phones and they started walking backwards on the travelator, in their efforts to record their encounter with a design done by slide rule and blokes in sports jackets with leather elbows, thirty years before ....
