Magnum Opus: Most Incredible Concorde Video Ever!
Dudes! 
I have to say, that this is without a doubt, the most touching and amazing Concorde video ever put together.
Really wanna share this, and I'd like yall to pay particular attention to:
This video is entitled "Thank You Concorde [for 27 Supersonic Years]"
Let me know your thoughts. Hope you enjoy!
I personally would like to say thank you to G.Buckerfield, for making this video possible.

Really wanna share this, and I'd like yall to pay particular attention to:
- Concorde's unbelievable climb rate (as she rises above the Red Arrows 3:10 into the video)
- The extremely well-photographed speed-blurred takeoff (at the end)
This video is entitled "Thank You Concorde [for 27 Supersonic Years]"
Let me know your thoughts. Hope you enjoy!

Is this the British Airways produced video?
If so it was shown in the hangar on 24th October to all the VIPs that were present. It is a superb video although the version I downloaded at the end of October was 88MB
SHE FLIES!

Thank you ConcordeBoy! That was amazing. It was a childhood dream of mine to fly the Concorde one day. Unfortunately I was never able to do it. I still feel sad everytime I think of the retirement of this amazing aircraft. It represents a level of genius which I feel has been unmatched in the aviation world since.

Great video.
Somehow I feel I missed something by not ever having time to anticipate a Concorde flight. It was always business and there were meetings on the other end.
Elegance in travel such as she represented it sorely missed.

Got me blubbing too,what a piece of kit.
Only wish I hadn't spend 4 hours in the concorde lounge before I boarded G-BOAD 'HIC' I never thought it would be the one and only time.
