now gone. All at Uxbridge now. We were down there a few weeks back for a funeral, and went to see the RAF memorial afterwards.

being converted into flats....

Re: Concorde
 

They've been converting them into conference halls and flats for years though, so when it's finished, I'll believe it.

Security is pretty slack, friends when bunny hoping a while back and only saw one chap.

Shame it never got sold to Royal Holloway. Don't know how they got around the need to keep it in educational uses charter jobby though.

My husband flew on Concorde

Re: Concorde
 

...contuned! Sorry i hit post by mistake
He flew on it once. He is 6'3". It was fast but small. However he sat next to Kate Moss so he was delighted by the experience. He kept the branded pen and writing paper they gave him!

Re: Concorde
 

That's funny :goodpost:

I once landed at Heathrow (before the days of the air bridge!) and had to wait to cross the tarmac once disembarked, because Concorde was taking off. I fair felt the ground tremble beneath my feet! :thumbsup: Loved that aircraft - would have loved a trip on it, I'm only 5ft 5ins JerseyGirl, I think it would have been more comfortable for me. My husband is 6ft 5ins... he struggles with regular commercial craft!:eek:

Me too!

So....mark..... how much do you want for the pen? :p

I'm an aviation nut - I collect things, especially Concorde things :D

Re: Concorde
 

Ha ha. I'm not an aviation nut, but it's a momento of my 16 years at the airport. So not for sale I'm afraid. Make an offer to NewJerseyGirl's husband :fingerscrossed:

Re: Concorde
 

lol, eBay is your friend :)

Re: Concorde
 

My husband won't let his Concorde memorabilia go either...he keeps them with the signed, personalized doodles Paul McCartney gave to him. He thinks they will be valuable some day. :D

Re: Concorde
 

Oh they are now. I don't want to sell, I want to add to my collection :D
