Recording was made on October 24th, 2003
This 1.4 Megabyte, twelve minute and sixteen second audio file has the
aircraft/controller conversations of the last landings made by three
Concordes. They discuss timing the arrivals with controllers so as to
have the three Concordes land with 2.5 minute spacing at London’s Heathrow
Airport. The first couple of minutes you can hear only the aircraft as
they are talking to the center. As the aircraft switch over to Heathrow’s
frequencies, you can hear both sides of the conversations. The beep
tones come from the scanner receiver as channels are changed to follow the
aircraft. This recording was made by a scanner enthusiast located near
the airport. You will hear “Speedbird Concorde 2” most of the time.

Filton ATC
Does anyone have the filton ATC on concordes final flight into filton? I have the ATC from heathrow but not filton. I was there and was listening but had no means to record. Would love to get hold of teh mp3 of it.

Good call WD. It was very interesting listening to the frequencies and chatter at Edinburgh on October 24th as G-BOAE arrived and departed.
Possibly the first time I’ve heard ATC actively announce the specific approach frequency on air for the benefit of “those who may be interested”.
Some of the banter was hilarious too.;)
