Just got home from work and my ears are still ringing from standing next
to
12 Olympus turbojets at idle thrust as the last three Concordes taxiied

into
the BA Engineering base and shut down to be towed to the retirement
ceremony. This after standing on the 8th floor of the car park watching
them come in to land one after the other. An amazing site and such a
feeling of being part of history. There are days like this when I love my
job!


Interesting and ironic enthusiasm. In my opinion, it must have felt like
attending a wake... :-(

Ah, another dream of my misspent youth dashed upon the rocks of reality...

Farewell, Concorde!
