pretty cool I thought

[Eric Mc]

No afterburners

[6th Gear]

Brilliant!

Thanks for posting.

It almost looks like it needs a bit more weight!

Sadly looks like it didn't last long; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml108q4fp90

Spectacular demise.

[PAUL500]

Wow what a way to go, great to see it can be done though so I imagine another bigger and better version is in the pipeline

[Dr Jekyll]

Oddly reminiscent of the TU144 crash.

[Eric Mc]

Wasn't it. It even went inverted. Is that a delta characteristic?

That's a different model, different builder/owner.

A valiant effort.

And unlike the others has a more correct blue to the British Airways livery.

I think because after a chunk fell off the port wing the starboard wing had more lift, so it rolled, and found stability upside down. A little like the collision with the fancy US plane (can't remember the details).

Ta!

I remember watching a remote control Concorde flying at Duxford. Must be 10 years ago. Smaller than that one I think but was fabulous to watch.

Theres a real one parked about 600 yards away from my house.

Parked up in the corner of Bristol Filton runway (as was) rusting away while 2 so called preservation organisations argue over its future. Been sat there since the last flight deteriorating.

Utter utter disgrace.

[Mr Classic]

They used to do tours around it until an old man fell off the stairway and died

Yeah, but on the upside we have lots of lovely new cycle paths, and we're green city of the future or something.
