With so many years in service, there must be dozens of Concorde or ex-Concorde guys out there. What a pity that none of them will add some expertise as we thrash around looking for answers.....

It should perhaps be pointed out that BEagle is a four-engined jet pilot of more than 20 years experience, with a significant amount of four-jet Delta wing experience. Moreover he's a senior flying...

The tailwind meant that as well as being a tonne over the structural limit, he was six tonnes over the appropriate limit for those conditions. And no, it didn't cause the fire, but nor did the fire...

Anecdotally, the allowance was said to be 70-kg per pax - for a plane-load of (and please excuse the apparent racial stereotypeing, I'm only repeating the report) 'fat Germans'.
