I'm not very familiar with LHR. The wind is forecast as NW so I guess they will be using 27.

Any tips on a good place to watch this tomorrow afternoon?

LHR are asking people not to go into the airport so somewhere on the perimeter?

Near a pub? ;)

For anyone else that's planning on going, I found this which has some info on where to view.


concorde spotters bbs

She was actually a bit late, after 12, but she was going to land 06L anyway as that's closer to the viewing park full of thousands upon thousands of paying customers!

And the approach is further east, so she wouldn't be as low over Knutsford / Mobberley as she would on 06R, so fewer noise complaints.

Super pics, as usual, DamianB. Did you have airside access?

I will be here from about 5pm http://www.thegreenmanbedfont.co.uk/

Hope to see you there, sounds like it could be quite a party

:) :\ :ooh: :uhoh: :yuk: :zzz: ;)

Ok then, here is my mobile if you fancy a pint...... 07967820988
Paul. :ok:

Bar shaker - nice to meet you.

BRL - always a chore, never a pleasure. :p

PS Did you really take that concorde cake wing piece all the way home? :)

SSD -
Nope. Only made the decision to go the day before so roughed it in the viewing park ;)

It looks like the last retirement flight will be one of them going into Filton, so if anybody here has a contact who can get me airside, PM me!

Good to meet you and BRL too Paulo.

BRL, you didn't ?

Nah..... I left it on the tube..... !!!!

Good to meet new faces in the pub. Had a good time. GR's site had a private party that we gatecrashed but no-one minded a bit, even got a load of champagne that someone had bought for everyone there. Unbelievable.

I'll tell you what though, I had some hangover the next day. I was only in the pub for 3 hours, if that, but must have drunk quite a bit. My head was killing me the morning after. :yuk:

Check back tommorow and I will post some pictures from the day. :)
