This brings back great memories for me. One of my proudest possessions is my certificate for flying at the controls of Concorde (ok, the simulator) with my superb training captain, Harry Linfield. Brooklands is just wonderful.
Congratulations Brooklands , I Really enjoyed the excellent video coverage of this event. Lovely to see Mike & Jock. Brings back great memories for me. Jocks memory of what he remembers about flying faster than a bullet (in answer to the question from the young boy) is how I remember my first flight on Concorde, it was a test flight after a maintenance check. (In fact I believe we had we had a CAA chap on board) and if memory serves just those in the flight deck, a few guests for the experience of the flight and a couple of engineers, monitoring/testing. Yes it was November early evening (nearly dark) when we took off. We headed off toward the Atlantic and I remember the acceleration down the runway, the "Going over the humpback bridge " feeling after the reheats were switched off as the "Noise Abatement procedure " was initiated. Then heat on the side of my face from the window, it got "Lighter" outside as we caught the time line & what was night became day. Also I remember we turned right a full 180 degrees at Mach 2 to return home , you could see the darkening of the sky & the curvature of the Earth. I got lucky as we all put our name in the hat to get the chance of sitting in the flight deck for the landing at LHR. Wonderful wonderful experience .
Love Concorde, she is still the most beautiful aircraft ever built. Never got the chance to fly on Concorde but at least I can fly her in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
