Maybe this dosnt mean much
Just my observation when the nose comes up on the Concorde shortly after
take off
The bloom factor comes to mind when my instructor said that anything that
(blooms) up ahead you will hit it.
Just a thought.
It seams there line of sight is blocked off by visor up for a second or two
Again just a thought...........

He points out he is looking for traffic before he does it
(though at Heathrow I believe they are in class A from
the ground). It's less than a second for the whole
transition, hardly any time you can't see out.

it's a hell of a worry isnt it. next time you hop on a concord ask the
chief hostie if you can ask the pilot how he manages to overcome the
problem. I'm sure they will get him to give you an answer.

remember, next time you fly anywhere on a concord ask the question.

With a little luck the Concordes will be grounded until they can address
this issue.

Did Isambard Kingdom Brunel really invent the Concorde?

Yup. He stuck wings on so they could avoid the icebergs :-)

Ah, so after 30 years I finally get an answer to that question posed in Bob
Godfrey's animated musical documentary "Great":

(Asked at about 5:39 into the video shown here:)

:-)

(Haven't seen that wonderful animation in probably 30 years; just went
looking for it and found someone posted it in three parts to Youtube. Sorry
- none of this is aviation related except for the Concorde segue.)
