Flew one round trip on Concorde. June 1989 on a charter to see the midnight sun in Lapland, landed at Rovaniemi. Great trip apart from the midges.Most memorable aspect of the Concorde flight was on the outbound flight when I was towards the back of the aircraft. The reduction in noise as the afterburners were turned off shortly after take off was somewhat disconcerting.Whilst the nostalgia about Concorde is understandable, it was extremely noisy and almost certainly unacceptable today.
