Concorde!

The first Concorde had just landed when I shot this shot, so in this pic there are 2 concordes. The second can barely been seen.

G-BOAG coming in to land. The last Concorde to ever land at Heathrow.

G-BOAC taxiing in. The water cannons giving their traditional salute.

Followed a few minutes later by the other two. No salute for them. The last one stopped on the road for a few minutes. Those close enough to the fence must have had a great photo opportunity. Not me though! 🙁

There she goes, the closest I got to it. Note all the people with digital cameras pointing it over the crowd! Just a few years back noone would do that!

Kind a symbolic, the Concorde with a barbed wire fence around it. BAA, BA and the MET where not exactly kind to us, although they where less bad then I expected.

At the end of the day the guard of the employee car park let everyone in. He did not have much of a chance I reckon cause by the time I gor there it was already full with 100s if not 1000 of people.

Four Concordes in one pic. Probably the last time we will see that.
