British Airways Supersonic Concorde at Heathrow 

Yes

Yes, it was known as the time machine, amongst other things!

You would cry if you had never flighted in it, as many of us. "Concorde, a time when supersonic planes were not to kill people but to delight them with human accomplishments."

Yes one of the captains said something about it

Omg - how lucky you were and i thought i was fortunate @ (4) different occasions. Well i was and you were very very forunate to say the least ! Each time it was unique from lounge to having the last glass of Pol Roger “ Sir Winston “ being served b4 landing all to soon :)

Oh it was indeed a memory of the ages!

same grew up in Hampton then Hanworth, saw it 100+ a year

Soooo true!

Actually the Russians built at least two. One crashed at an airshow before she went into service and a second one spent a few years in service for Aeroflot but she was so loud inside that people avoided it.

@@billolsen4360 yeah, Tupolev Tu-144

That's true!

Thanks you!

Retro futuristic

Yeah, you are right

It was...my footage is from a 2000 & 2002 visit. I just loaded up Manchester Airport from 2004, hope no one goes out today looking for stuff shot 13 years ago - it won't be there!

well.. it'll be at Manchester, it'll be in a hangar though xD

Super VC10

Exactly right 'them was the days!"

Imagine everyone looking at their window trying to get the best shot, or angle.

Avion est une insulte

Leaving Heathrow as a teenager one year. Went down a hallway to board my flight, walked past 4 in a row all docked side by side. Took my breath away.

@@anthonymorris5084 2 or 3 Concordes flew to New Zealand when I was really young, I can remember my parents pointing one out when it flew over and it sounded awesome but I was too young to understand what all the fuss was about.

@@poppajack5332 Cool. At the time I was in England for the summer. I used to go to Heathrow to photograph planes. They had great viewing from the parking decks back then. I got the Concorde schedule and sometimes would head toward the end of the runway. (Can you believe we used to be able to do that?) Every time I'd hear a plane I'd wonder if this was going to be it. We could only see the end part of the runway. After several takeoffs of conventional planes, I suddenly heard this horrendous noise, and sure enough, holy crap it was amazing. I really thought one day I'd fly in it but oh well.

@@anthonymorris5084 that must have been quite an experience. I went to New York in 2016, they have a Concorde there on the Intrepid aircraft carrier, was so nice to see one up close in person

@@poppajack5332 On an aircraft carrier? Wow two cool things at once.

I

A lot of people in that long line!

Wow! so cool! Would you know by any chance if she was stationed in Melbourne at all? (Flights from Melbourne)

It was never stationed in Australia. The earliest flights were demonstration/promotional. Never a regular schedule. Mostly charter flights for people with money to spend. New Caledonia to Sydney, Sydney to Tokyo, Sydney to Hong Kong. Often as part of a round the world tour. Not sure if it was ever in Melbourne. But I used to see it in Sydney. It always used the main runway out over the bay. It's the longest and puts flights over less populated parts of Sydney. Because of the noise and the length of runway required for takeoff it always went out over the bay and well out over the Pacific Ocean before turning and heading to Asia. The noise factor was a big issue in Sydney. The Airport has a curfew from 11pm to 6am. No large plane movements between these hours. The new Sydney Airport at Badgery's Creek in western Sydney is designed to be a 24 hour operation. The first sod of construction was turned on that site today. Eventually Sydney will grow around it and people living there will have to get used to the noise.

Please post the video if you can.

That's the one I went on once. Tell her I said "Hi!!"

I flew on G-BOAG from Heathrow to JFK in 2003. I hope she's in good condition.

@@billolsen4360 : The video is on a format I have no idea how to convert without a functioning camera. I am anxious to be able to do so because that is not the only significant event I recorded on that medium.
