Last flight of Concorde

8:03pm, 22nd October 2003

Raswan asked if I’d heard a huge window shaking thundering roaring sound this afternoon. I had. It was a Concorde going over, low enough to get a good look. God knows what it sounds like when it’s going fast. Unless I camp out at the airport tonight and tomorrow, it’ll have been the last time I’ll ever see one flying. Maybe one day they’ll have a replacement to marvel at again.

Heh, a flying supersonic passenger airplane. Haven’t seen one of those in… thirty years…

    Hahaha, cool - we saw it for its last flights too because Ravensbored is right under the flightpath as it descends into Heathrow, and this time we paid attention.

Comment sensibly. I know where you live.
