Question Concorde still flying?

just found that with regards to the Commonwealth heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Trinidad & Tobago

"At exactly 2.44 p.m., all eyes were glued to the massive British Airways Concorde supersonic transport plane which touched down at the tarmac at the old Piarco airport.

A huge contingent of the Queen’s entourage as well as members of the British media was the first to disembark the rear exit of the aircraft.

Moments later, British High Commissioner Eric Jenkinson entered the aircraft to greet the Queen."

The kids were confused too.

Children looked on in awe a few feet away, not knowing whether to scream out in glee or stay silent.

I think some news reporters need re-educating; it was actually a 777.

The word "massive" doesn't usually come to mind when looking at the Concorde.

Turtle-Air,

The last revenue flight for Concorde was actually 24th October 2003 (British Airways).
