Thumbs up Witness: The First Flight of Concorde

Worth downloading if you're short of something to listen to on your way home this evening:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...t_of_Concorde/

On March 2 1969 the supersonic airliner took to the skies for the first time.

9 mins.

Concorde was a truely wonderful plane, a pity it no longer flies. The clip shows how excited people were about Concorde.

I was fortunate enough to fly JFK-LHR on Concorde once, shame that I can never repeat the experience again

I'm sure I can find 9 minutes during one of the 12 hour long hauls!

Thanks for the link.
