Don't know. I got the link from a Piper list I'm on.

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!

What do you have to do to save one of these as a jpg, for a background?
Superb.

Put the cursor on the image and click the right mouse button. Select the action
you want from the menu. I would save it to a file on the C drive and take it
from there.

Great pix.

Anyone else struck by the similarities between these photos and the ones
taken of the Mach 3 XB-70 Valkyrie bomber and a flight of fighters -- right
before an F-104 Starfighter was caught in the wingtip vortices, and flipped
up, over and into the XB-70? The ensuing crash killed everyone on board
both planes, IIRC.

I suspect the Red Arrows may have received a careful briefing about staying
away from Concorde's wingtips...

Concorde and the Red Arrows have flown many times in
formation for various events...though I guess the pilots were
different on each occasion.

I was there for the Jubilee flypast, I was there for the last
(and last but one) departure for New York, I was there for
the retirement.

The best photos I have are when Concorde was at Cardiff.
Since I was a member of the flying club, I stood on the south
side of the runway and took pictures from there as it took off.
I was standing on my own, others watched from back at the
club. I didn't get TOO close though! :-)

As for British Airways, I just for an e-mail to say I haven't flown
with them for a while and to offer me some air miles for booking
a flight. Well, I had hoped that one day I would get to fly on
Concorde - heck, I know two ex-Concorde pilots! One flies a
Luscombe from the field where I'm based. Now BA becomes
just another airline. The last business flight I took, I flew on
Lufthansa as BA had their strikes and we couldn't afford any
delay. Now I guess we'll just book the cheapest (non-budget)
carrier now that BA doesn't have the status that Concorde
afforded it. I wonder if this will cost BA much in lost business?

I would doubt if retiring Concorde will cost BA much in lost revenue in the
subsonic fleet. Not many passengers buy a ticket on a 747 or an Airbus A320
because of other airplanes an airline flies. Sounds like you had a great
experience at Cardiff, though!
