Concorde BA002 departing JFK for the last time (video)
 

I thought fellow Concorde lovers might like to see this video an American friend sent me.

It was filmed by one of the JFK ATCO's standing at the side of the runway, and shows Concorde lining up, departing and climbing out over Jamaica Bay towards the Atlantic.
The roar of the engines is loud - you may want to adjust your speakers. :D

It's a big file which takes some time to load, but well worth the wait. It will stream on broadband but you may want to download and save it, especially if you're on dial-up.

6:23, Dolby Stereo Surround Sound 5.1, 1Mb video quality, 44Mb file.

And, in case anyone missed the BBC coverage (different Concorde) at LHR ..........

Edit
I've had many e-mails telling me the 'Concorde' link is occasionally suspended. I assume we're overloading the server.
Try this alternative - same video:


End of an Era

Excellent JFK departure video - well worth the download time, if anyone's wondering.

Thanks for the post guys

Excellent video footage of the take off.

Jordan

Superb.
 

Can you say who shot the video - who ever it is could not have judged that take off position much more acccurately.

VERY GOOD! Superb video.

Thanks,

Ian

"filmed by one of the JFK ATCO's" - which probably explains how he knew where to stand. :D

I've finally had a chance to download and watch the JFK mini clip and found it was absolutely superb.

Perhaps the cameraman was shaking a little and perhaps his panning and zooming was a little wobbly (I'm sure we would all do the same in the circumstances) but it captured the atmosphere of the occasion perfectly and the ATC banter was the ideal commentary.

thanks very much for putting it here for our enjoyment.
The clip of the LHR arrivals was great too!

regards

SS

Awesome!

I played it a few times before I found out it was good enough quality for full screen. I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was as dumb as me. Duh!

Very nice footage, thanks :ok:

Great video.
I have broadband.
The clip came up in Windows media player and I don't seem to be able to save it.
Can anyone advise me?
:confused:

Peter

G-FO69 Would like to pass thenks to you and your friend. That footage was unique:ok:

Right-click on the link in Flying Lawyers first post, and save it to disk. If you've already streamed it, it might take no time at all to save... warning, this advice comes from a Mac user!!

Here's another video, this one filmed by a refueller at Kennedy.

The picture quality isn't quite as good as the first video posted, but it still captures the atmosphere of the day very well.

Sound quality is good, blending in the final goodbyes between ATC and Concorde. The audio continues after the pictures stop.

Goodbye BA SST

Flying Lawyer,

Many thanks for another wonderful video! I know its something i will keep for many years to come!! :ok:

Another wonderful video ... thanks very much.

Jordan

I heard they were spraying coloured water on Concorde just before she left of red, white and blue, however have not see a picture of such - anyone got a link?

Well done FL,

I managed to shoot 2 rolls of film on Friday, and watch the BBC2 coverage (recorded) without crying.

Then I spend 3 hours downloading the 1st video, and the shot of Concorde sitting at the end of the runway at JFK awaiting clearance has me crying!

If you are on dial-up, i.e. 1p a minute and you're not sure if to download or not - do it! You will not be disappointed.

Many thanks FL, a sad sad day, please thank your friend for making this footage available to us all.

Another video, filmed from the other side of the water from the first one posted.
Distant shot of the take-off, but good shot of Concorde climbing out. The quality is good enough for full-screen.
It's short and shouldn't take too long to download on dial-up connections.

I've been asked to point out that, for best results, all videos should be allowed to load fully before playing. (Thanks Brian G.)

Wonderful footage. Many thanks.

It's weird to think that some three hours later I saw her passing over Blackheath. Sigh....

FL thanks for posting these videos (and the previous AF one)

Mrs D&O and I had the joy of flying in her back from JFK a few months ago. So seeing the departure from the outside is great!

D&O:rolleyes:

Thanks for the audio file, chum. It probably breaks all sorts of piddling regulations, but people will still marvel at the sound in years to come.

Just a quick note of appreciation the videos that you have posted are fantastic, especially the runwayside one, please let those that took these know that they have made some people very happy. Well me and the wife anyway.

Just driven past the maintenance hangars at LHR and there they
stand 2 outside in the dark, one tucked up in an adjacent hangar.Bloody sad.

I can only echo the appreciation of all the others here - thankyou V much.

She'll be sadly missed :(

Fantastic audio file, thanks for posting!

RC

Good Sound File ... I wonder how many regs that breaks?

Jordan

Thanks for the vids FL.

Thanks for the audio file jetset........I enjoyed it, proving I truly am a sad git! :p

Peter,

Assuming (!) you're running a fairly up to date windows OS, your download will be saved in your Temporary Internet Files folder - that is, if you haven't deleted the contents.
To access them, go to your Control Panel and select Internet options. The middle section of the window that appears deals with Teporary Internet Files. Click Settings, then click View Files.
You will probably then be faced with a huge list. The downloaded file will be easy to find because it's so big. Just click on the word 'size' at the head of the size column, and your files will be ordered in ascending order of size. Scroll right to the bottom and you should find the file there.
Click once on the file to highlight it and then click 'Copy This Item'. A browse widow will open and you can select a suitable destination from which you can access it in future.

This certainly works for XP, but your system may be different. Good luck.

Hey folks.
Excellent Videos!
I'd just like to saty, I videod Concordes las tLanding and Take off in Edinburgh.

I'm still to edit yet. Any interest?

I was very close to the runway, with a good camera and a tripod. So the quality will be good.

Go for it Bmused55.
It could prove to be the penultimate landing and take-off of G-BOAE's life in the UK, and its last ever passenger flight.

Mark

Thanks for the great videos. :ok:

High quality!


Thanks to Chris for the website link and Steve Jerome for the original recording

Concorde Departure
 

Sorry to say that the ISP seems to have suspended the account of the last Concorde departure from JFK. I assume they didn't like the bandwidth usage! Is there any where else one can find the file?

Thanks

I find it a strange step backwards in technology that it took me longer to download that excellent video than it took the rocket to cross the Atlantic....

Apparently, that doyen of non-political correctness (hurrah for that from me) Jeremy Clarkson said something like....

"That's one small step for me, one giant leap backwards for mankind"

....after disembarking from BAW002 last Friday.

Obvious, but still funny.

Wonder if he's asked to have one for his front garden (from the space he had for the Lightning, it looked like it would fit!)

Touchngo

At your service! ;)

Would definitely have some interest from my corner on EDI last take off/landing pics .... were you by any chance on top of a car when you were recording those pics ... if so I saw you!
