Years and years ago (I am quite elderly
) I was one of the many thousands who lined the River Thames embankments to watch this lovely craft being flown home from the Paris Airshow. It was piggy-backing a jumbo I think and the pilots brough it as low and slow as they could and I do remember it being a truly emotional event.
When our Concordes were taken out of the air one of them flew across my town to reach the airfield where it began its amazing life. It's still parked at the end of the runway - rotting - falling apart.
So pleased to see this wonderful vehicle going home to get some respect.
