Do you have a copy?
I missed that, was slugging my guts out at B&Q, earning a measly wage

Twas the second time I’d ever seen Concorde fly, the other being when I was a wee nipper. First time I saw a Typhoon aswell.
My photos of it were bloody awful though – wish I’d had my photographic knowledge and my digi that I currently have for that flypast. 🙁

I remember seeing the fly by on TV.
I can’t remember ever feelign so proud of an aircraft before then.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, an unforgettable moment.

The Concorde used was G-BOAD, however, I don’t know any other regs of the aircraft.
By: Mark L - 10th February 2004 at 19:32
Indeed, it was quite spectacular! I was lucky enough to be there.
BTW, does anyone have a list of all the different aircraft (regs preferably) that took part. I have a poster/painting/print of the event, and I believe that the Concorde was AF, but apart from that not much else?
