Hi all,
Does anyone know the frequencies Concorde uses on departure from UK airspace? (London then oceanic etc…) Is it the standard Oceanic frequencies or does the mighty bird use special frequencies?
Also, does Concorde depart over Cornwall and if so, what general route does it take thereafter?
Regards

RE: Concorde Frequencies
Couldn’t find anything about the frequencies it uses,but the route it takes to JFK is out of Heathrow towards over Bristol,down the southern coast of Ireland near Cork,across the Atlantic towards Nova Scotia then finally down to Boston area (Cape Cod)across to JFK.
You may be lucky when concorde goes down to Barbados it then flies over Cornwall,the route then is from heathrow down to Lands End,Atlantic,Azores,then finally over the Atlantic again over to Barbados.
Everyday i get to see the Air France concorde from CDG flying over Guernsey at around 4pm.Its a beautiful sight,hearig it break the sound barrier is amazing.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 04-03-02 AT 07:43 AM (GMT)]Concorde departs UK over the very south of south Wales. It has airspace over the Severn Bridge on the Southern Welsh boarder (i really mean the severn estuary) for it to carry out the ‘sonic boom’.
Hope this helps
