The last Concorde

Excellent stuff Tim, do you have a copy of this doco sat proudly on your DVD stand?
You cannot but feel the pride of the guys and girls working on that exceptional aircraft in Bristol.

I am proud to point out that the chap featured heavily in this film, Alan Radford is my grandfather, with his ex-wife June, also in the film being my grandmother. 😀

Alan is still alive and kicking, though sadly June died last year.

As you can imagine, Concorde is well and truly in my blood! Proud is not strong enough a word to express what I feel about my grandfathers involvement. I am so lucky to be able to watch this to remind myself of not only the part he played, but also what we were once capable of.

Oh and the F111’s – I used to get to sit in the escape modules as a young lad while Alan was on the team doing the servicing. Happy happy memories!

Excellent film and find there Peter, would be great to see it on TV.
Nice to see the F-111s going through their mod work at Filton aswel.
