It almost brings tears to my eyes to see this beautiful plane on which I was fortunate to travel on 34 occasions. I wonder how many people realise that BA had a flight to New York that left at 1930. At some times of the year, this was after sunset, but we arrived in New York in sunshine. Therefore, we saw the sun rise in the West!
You would cry if you had never flighted in it, as many of us. "Concorde, a time when supersonic planes were not to kill people but to delight them with human accomplishments."
Omg - how lucky you were and i thought i was fortunate @ (4) different occasions. Well i was and you were very very forunate to say the least ! Each time it was unique from lounge to having the last glass of Pol Roger “ Sir Winston “ being served b4 landing all to soon :)
I'm from Bristol and seeing her fly over was not uncommon. You could hear the boom. Before they stopped it overland. It was so exciting. I remember them building it and the pride we all took in her. Amazing. Still proud.
I used to live on the Embankment near the Tate Gallery opposite the MI5 building and every evening I would hear Concorde fly down the Thames at fairly low altitude. The sound of the engines could be heard over the traffic. People would just stop and look with their mouths open. It was a truly magnificent sight. Sadly, I never flew on it and to this day I still wish I had.
😊🙏 We lived in a much more glamourous world with a lot more good people with good merits & wisdom back then ... Thank You So Much to the Passionate Production Crew & Service Teams for given us this Magnificient Concorde experience of the British Airways , AirFrance & Singapore Airlines ... 🙏 May we all meet again in a Better World & Realm in due Time & Space ... 🌷🌿🌏✌💜🕊🇬🇧🇫🇷🇸🇬
Must have been a privilege just to see her fly in person. I only saw a Concorde twice, once sitting near a hangar at the Paris airport in 1969 right after her first flight and again in Dallas TX when she was sitting at the gate. My connecting flight took off before Concorde did so I missed seeing her fly. :-(
Yep seen her first time at the viewing terrace at T2 Heathrow 1992 as a kid... First trip abroad on a plane and first trip to London.. Amazing watching it take off.
Most advanced and fastest civilian plane EVER! I remember a Concorde captain on TV saying that during the first few years in the 70s Concorde was faster than US fighter jets patrolling US airspace and that the Pentagon was forced to change US airspace surveillance protocols because of Concorde, it made US fighter jets loik outdated and slow.
Used to fly over my house every couple of days growing up, I always went to the window to watch when I heard that unmistakable sound, it never got old.
I'll tell you something,standing in that spot is NEVER gonna be the same again!! - I'll be thinking of this great departure for a long time. It makes you think when you see a runway, you don't think too much of what has been on it in the years before, but THIS ... This is magic!! It's a neck straining ,sometimes back breaking location (trying to get the angles,right!?) but the rewards are there for all to see, Thanks SB
@@anthonymorris5084 2 or 3 Concordes flew to New Zealand when I was really young, I can remember my parents pointing one out when it flew over and it sounded awesome but I was too young to understand what all the fuss was about.
@@poppajack5332 Cool. At the time I was in England for the summer. I used to go to Heathrow to photograph planes. They had great viewing from the parking decks back then. I got the Concorde schedule and sometimes would head toward the end of the runway. (Can you believe we used to be able to do that?) Every time I'd hear a plane I'd wonder if this was going to be it. We could only see the end part of the runway. After several takeoffs of conventional planes, I suddenly heard this horrendous noise, and sure enough, holy crap it was amazing. I really thought one day I'd fly in it but oh well.
@@anthonymorris5084 that must have been quite an experience. I went to New York in 2016, they have a Concorde there on the Intrepid aircraft carrier, was so nice to see one up close in person
I just wish they brought the Concorde out 20 years later than they did as it would be getting retired in 2023 and would still be flying as im typing this meaning i woulda got a chance to fly at twice the speed of sound at 60,000 ft in the air eating caviar and drinking fine champagne - a once in a lifetime experience !
If you go to the Brooklands museum in Weybridge you can sit in one of the original Concordes, it's a wonderful experience so if you're in the UK it comes massively reccomended
Wow! Thanks for sharing! Makes me wana cry knowing planes like these arent flown anymore! Look at it!! The view from the front resembles a Blackbird somewhat.. amazing!
It was...my footage is from a 2000 & 2002 visit. I just loaded up Manchester Airport from 2004, hope no one goes out today looking for stuff shot 13 years ago - it won't be there!
Now This Is What I Like To See Concorde I Love This Plane And It Upset Me The Day They Finnished Sadley Missed And Thats A Very Big Like And Fav And Thanks For Posting Mate.
Pilot Flying: 3, 2, 1, now. (Shoves throttles all the way forward with the afterburners lighting up automatically) Pilot Monitoring: Airspeed building. Pilot Monitoring: 100 knots. Flight Engineer: Power set. Pilot Monitoring: V1. (Pilot Flying takes his/her hand off throttles) Pilot Monitoring: Rotate. (Pilot Flying gently pulls back on the yoke) Pilot Monitoring: V2. (Plane starts to lift off the runway) Pilot Monitoring: Positive climb. Pilot Flying: Gear up please. (Pilot Monitoring raises landing gear) Pilot Monitoring: Gear up, doors locked. 240 knots. Pilot Flying: 3, 2, 1, noise. (Flight engineer reaches for throttle levers and pulls them back a small amount and switches off the afterburners)
Actually the Russians built at least two. One crashed at an airshow before she went into service and a second one spent a few years in service for Aeroflot but she was so loud inside that people avoided it.
I watched Concorde depart Cairns, Queensland, Australia many years ago along with maybe half the school kids in Cairns who were given time off school to watch. We were maybe 1 kilometre west of the runway as it took off to the north. We were told if takeoff was aborted it had to taxi back and get a fuel top up. I think it was flying to Singapore, but maybe it was Hong Kong or Tokyo. The noise was deafening and the ground seemed to shake violently. It was the most intense feeling going through your body as it lifted and we continued to see and hear it for a long time. It was by chance we were driving past the airport, going to the beach and saw this crowd gathering along the James Cook Highway north out of Cairns towards Port Douglas. I also saw Concorde land and take off several times in Sydney over Botany Bay.
It was never stationed in Australia. The earliest flights were demonstration/promotional. Never a regular schedule. Mostly charter flights for people with money to spend. New Caledonia to Sydney, Sydney to Tokyo, Sydney to Hong Kong. Often as part of a round the world tour. Not sure if it was ever in Melbourne. But I used to see it in Sydney. It always used the main runway out over the bay. It's the longest and puts flights over less populated parts of Sydney. Because of the noise and the length of runway required for takeoff it always went out over the bay and well out over the Pacific Ocean before turning and heading to Asia. The noise factor was a big issue in Sydney. The Airport has a curfew from 11pm to 6am. No large plane movements between these hours. The new Sydney Airport at Badgery's Creek in western Sydney is designed to be a 24 hour operation. The first sod of construction was turned on that site today. Eventually Sydney will grow around it and people living there will have to get used to the noise.
If you think about it, the shape of the Concorde is more or less the de facto paper airplane most people make at one or more points in their life. So, in a way, the plane will keep on living forever.
Miss the sounds. Miss the Buzz that this beauty created. Its seems like aviation is going backwards instead of forward. Such a shame as the technology is there. Bring Back Concorde 🙏🏼
Brill video. Cheers for uploading. She was such an elegant and graceful plane . Such a shame they retired the Concorde(To me which was the "King Of the Skies", and not the Airbus A380), after such a tragic accident caused by a piece falling of another aircraft departing right in front of the Concorde`s doom flight. One of my fave planes ever. Other of my favourite plane are of course the Boeing 747(Queen Of the Skies), and then the Boeing 757, Airbus A319 and Airbus A33O.
G-BOAG is at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. I was there recording a video when it landed and then when it shut off its engines for the final time. It was very poignant.
@@billolsen4360 : The video is on a format I have no idea how to convert without a functioning camera. I am anxious to be able to do so because that is not the only significant event I recorded on that medium.
Figures like that do not work on such small scales. There was only 1 accident which involved any losses. There were other minor incidents but this is normal & the design made it possible to land them safely. The fact that they modified some Concordes & ran them in service again is in contrary to your statement. The problem was the cost. The world has become increasingly more cost-conscious since Concorde was designed & flying at Mach 2.0 is very expensive. Even the newest airframes were 25 years old. Technology had moved on & holding spares for such a small fleet became increasingly expensive until the point where it was not financially viable. 9/11 also had an effect. Regular passengers died in those tragic events. Others were put off from flying & sought other ways to conduct their business.
You're very welcome. I would have loved to have flown on that bad boy can I know that the people who put it together had to be brilliant everybody involved
The Concorde is a product of Aerospatiale/BAC a joint venture by British/French aircraft makers...google it up, all the details are all over the internet.
If I could’ve had one flight on Concorde it would’ve been from Heathrow to Kai Tak the old airport in Hong Kong, that would’ve been a “One for the bucket list” flight & to hell with how much it would’ve cost but alas that will never happen. There’s nothing flying today that comes remotely close to Concorde. Surely with all the technology we have today somebody could bring this piece of aviation perfection back & put it back in the skies where it belongs.
God the Landor livery looks so much smarter than the Chatham Dockyard one. G-BOAG was both the first and last of BA's Concordes to wear the Landor. I believe the first clip would be one of her final flights in that livery as the maintenance hangar as well as other BA Aircraft already have the then-new 'World' liveries and logo.
It almost brings tears to my eyes to see this beautiful plane on which I was fortunate to travel on 34 occasions.

Yes, it was known as the time machine, amongst other things!
You would cry if you had never flighted in it, as many of us.
"Concorde, a time when supersonic planes were not to kill people but to delight them with human accomplishments."
Yes one of the captains said something about it
Omg - how lucky you were and i thought i was fortunate @ (4) different occasions.

34 times wow! May I ask what you do for a living haha
My Dad used to fly in the Concorde quite often.
This magnificent aircraft, certainly helped his business.

Even after all these years still fascinating. Sad, that she isn't flying anymore.

🗣 In my opinion, the *Concorde* is the most beautiful airplane ever constructed .... ✈
Yes
Yes great but I must say I still prefer the Vulcan but concorde is a very close second then 3rd comes in the SR71.😊
The best video I’ve seen to capture the noise. Huge thumbs up
Used to fly over my house every couple of days growing up, I always went to the window to watch when I heard that unmistakable sound, it never got old.
same grew up in Hampton then Hanworth, saw it 100+ a year
I absolutely LOVED
simply spectacular... this technology must return and with more strength and more modern humanity must be able to enjoy this type of aviation
Soooo true!
Just one word: PURE PERFECTION! Please, bring it back!!

So sad she deserves to be in the sky, not in a museum. She was built to fly.
Wow I miss the old Heathrow so much! The Queens Building has it's memories. Shame it's gone, would have been a massive hit! Fantastic video!
The most beautiful aeroplane ever. Just like a beautiful swan.
That is so much cooler to watch than any other passenger plane in history, the sound is incredible, would love to have seen one take off in person
Leaving Heathrow as a teenager one year. Went down a hallway to board my flight, walked past 4 in a row all docked side by side. Took my breath away.

Icon of the century
Those flames at the back of the engine are so badass
WOW! This just took me back in time. Amazing video.
Gone but never forgotten.
Wow that is an awesome playing congratulation to all of those that worked on it under the people who fly and operate it
Thanks you!
This plane was fantastic, the flight times it did were wonderful! And by now you have a wonderful channel, subscribing ;)
If you go to the Brooklands museum in Weybridge you can sit in one of the original Concordes, it's a wonderful experience so if you're in the UK it comes massively reccomended

One of the sexiest planes ever along with the Vulcan bomber and the Spitfire.

That's true!
Man, the good old days when there were tons of 747s flying around...
Exactly right 'them was the days!"
What a cool❗this is bestplane in mylife😍
Mister I sure will thank you so much sir
I was lucky enough to fly on her in 1990. Simply beautiful.
What a masterpiece!
Iconic masterpiece from concorde I’m from Kenya 🇰🇪 Nairobi teddy katalunya ziwani buru emba
Just beautiful
Sooner or later there will be Overture Boom, but it will never replace Concorde in our hearts 🥰✌️
Miss the sounds. Miss the Buzz that this beauty created. Its seems like aviation is going backwards instead of forward. Such a shame as the technology is there. Bring Back Concorde 🙏🏼
Simply the most beautiful plane of all times...
concorde unity between 2 nations who were often at war.
What a symbol.
This was a amazing time where the b747 Concorde and a380 were still manufactured and used
it's so beautiful

She was so swift.
