Thanks for that link... I've never seen that particular bit of footage before... May i ask what it's from?

Kind regards

John

It's a clip from a Nova show
it was on the PBS station in the US
called "Supersonic Dreams"
the Video can be purchased here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/concorde/

A Quote from Calvert:

Flying Concorde involved a mixture of emotions. As an airplane it just felt right. You got an exhilarating feeling, which was very exciting. You almost wanted to be flying it and looking at it from the outside at the same time because you felt so grand in it. But it just had something special and ineffable about it, whether it was the power, the design, whatever. It was just terrific fun.



....And nobody's done it any better than that. Military aircraft couldn't match it, and they certainly couldn't do it while serving caviar and canapés to 100 passengers, that's for sure.



This is a very interseting interview with Brian
