Very small indeed in comparison to a 777 or 747. In the cruise, they were also hot to touch given the friction outside. Regardless of their size, the view out of them was always spectacular.....look down and you saw a line of 'slower' planes crossing the atlantic, look up and things began to get a lot darker.

I am very priviliged to have travelled a lot on BA001 - she was perfect. I could meet the team or an investor at the Concorde room at JFK for an all day meeting and then be home with the family the same day. I never had to leave the the airport but could meet everyone face to face
