Here are some pics from Concorde's final flight.

 

This was taken by a supplier of mine, as it took off from LHR

 

 

and this one was taken by me as it came to land at Filton.

 

 

When a little lad, my dad took us to Heathrow to watch it come in to land. That was in the day when you could park on the circuit road right at the end of end of the runway.......What a noise

 

Then years later, when we'd moved to Brizzle, my Mum won an auction for a go in the simulator, as a surprise for my Dad. He blagged for me and my bro to go with him....That was an amazing experience. I'm always happy to boast that I've landed Concorde at JFK, having taken off at Heathrow!

 

It felt like a sad day for me, as I have many happy memories of this plane, and they always make me think of my Dad.

[Durham Fiesta]

must have been a good pilot to land it on that runway it looks smaller than i thought it was

[BIGKEV]

interesting fact that when concorde went to its top speed it grew 1 extra metre in length due to heat expansion!

I heard that for every hour in the air, concorde needed 15 hours maintenance on the ground - classic old bus

I bet some of us feel that our cars are a bit like that!!
