No can do I'm afraid - watched it and deleted it. In the 3 hours there was only perhaps 30 minutes of Concorde coverage anyway. I deleted because I expected somebody else was bound to make an mpeg of any coverage - there's a bloke on the concordesst.com forums who is building up a nice collection of mpegs you can download from his server.

Great pics as always, Damien.

I made the pilgramage to LHR to see the (last) take-off. A very sad day

As an aside, it seems that you and Sky News have kissed and made up after the Firefly episode then, Damien?

Thanks Mike, but no, I still think they're a bunch of ghouls and the ITC agreed with me.

Having read how careful BA were when considering who was worthy of one of their free-be jets slightly surprised to learn that the Filton example is now out in the open until a museum to accodate her is built in a few years time.

Can't believe that Airbus UK has'nt got room for her inside. Not only that but the stored G-BBDG has it's own hangar at Filton.

We have seen and lived the future, but now it's back to 8 hours for the crossing.

Re. The now famous photo of Concorde over the Clifton Suspension Bridge, highlighted in Volume's post above.....

.....Does anyone know where I can download a jpeg example in its larger original, much more detailed form?

Thanks in anticipation.

Thought I should add these (at last!) of G-BOAF making the last ever departure of a Concorde, to Bristol Filton.

Enjoy!!

Looks like the file extension is missing off the file name, Alan. Do they need a .jpg perhaps
