Concorde Memorabilia

[mayevora]

Yesterday in New York. 

[Sparky]

About bloody time!  Took them ages.  The Hudson isn't a particularly friendly place for an airframe.

It's almost certainly a bit pedantic, but why TF would you push it along facing backwards? 😐

If it went too fast into the wind it may have taken off.😃

[Sparky]

Even Concorde's wings would generate some lift in a stiff breeze.  But it wouldn't properly lift until nose-up at around 200mph.  Ah, it has no engines so would lift more readily.

Jeez, I'm a sad geek.

Should be back on display when we are in New York in 2 weeks time. Will add it to our list of things to do.

Flew on that one twice.  You'll probably be able to tell which seats I sat in.

They're in your loft?

We're you a nervous flyer?

 

[Sparky]

No, I REALLY enjoyed it

By the stains?

Wonderful memories.  Used to enjoy being on board for engine runs - a major sensory experience.  The pipes were right in front of my hangar, and the noise was insane when they pushed the throttles forward.
