40th Anniversary of Concorde's First Flight:

Today the 2nd March 2009 is the 40th Anniversary of Concorde's First Flight on the 2nd March 1968 and the Fleet was withdrawn from service 34 Years later on the 24th October 2003.

The following YouTube movie (one of the many of Concorde) makes a fitting tribute to this great aircraft:

My father worked on the fuel system design team for Concorde. I am so pleased to se a clip from a design and drawing office from somewhere on this film. My younger brother was hugely influenced by dad and he now works in aircraft manufacture management with British Aerospace. Britain remains at the cutting edge of aircraft design and manufacture. The legacy of Concorde lives on!
