As I came out from doing the shopping, I looked up to see Concorde flying overhead. It's wonderful to see her back in the air again, although it looks like she now takes a different approach into LHR than she used to (as she never passed over my house before).

I was surprised to see that it had its gear lowered -- I'm about 20-25 miles out from Heathrow. Is gear-down at that distance standard practice for Concorde?
