RE: Concorde Flying again
HI’
Does anyone know the exact route concoured took on her flight. I live in County Down, Northern Ireland and approx. an hour after she left heathrow an aircraft passed over my house that i found strange. The noise this thing was making was was like a squadron of tornado’s at low level i could’nt visually see any aircraft but nothing like this has ever passed over before. My house seems to be right under many of the trans-atlantic routes with 747’s, 777’s’ a340’s etc, flying over daily. On a good day you might get 10 aircraft flying almost in formation across the sky in one wide line. I’ve iddentified many as Virgin Atlantic and Canadian airlines while i know Pan-Am flight go right over here because the tragic lockerbie crash could have easily happened here.
There is’nt much on the military side over here apart from the usual chinooks, wessex’s, lynx’s and gazelles flying at about 200ft of the ground,i’ve even seen gazelles going behind the tree lines in land near my house.
Anyway its great to see G-BOAF get the air under her wheels again, bet the people living under the heathrow flight path are just over the moon!!!!
