Possibly, Its on again BBC OCt 10, which seems a little longer programme. http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-program...ersonic-story/

I thought it was pretty good, would have enjoyed it being longer.
I will most likely pay a visit to the new museum in Bristol when it opens in a few weeks.

Sounds like an excuse for a Do. If only we had a Bristol based FT’er who might organise one, cough cough BotB

Without watching but based on other 30/60 minute programmes covering the same subject the regional show would likely concentrate on issues that were related to the Bristol area aspects of Concorde and would have cut out the national / inernational aspects thus giving the programme a more regional focus.

The 30 minute version was shown in a BBC1 regional 'opt out' slot which concentrates on more local matters.

If anyone is interested, the iPlayer link for Concorde - A Supersonic Story - and also for an episode of the 1994 programme Perpetual Motion on Concorde

I had feared it was a repeat. Either my memory failed me, or there was some new material! Very enjoyable 60 minutes (apart from the AF crash, about which a BA Captain neatly summarised what went wrong).

I was enjoying the programme until I was reminded forcibly by Mrs Cheeks that she did not wish to watch details of a plane crash the day before we fly to ATL. It made very little difference when I advised her that it was an Air France crash not BA
