Concorde

19th July 2003 to 12th April 2004

Although never a fan of the noisy beast, I became involved emotionally like everyone else at the end.

This collection starts with a few photos of Concorde landing at Heathrow to mark its retirement in 2003.

The rest of the collection is concerned with the remarkable journey of Concorde G-BOAA from Heathrow to the Museum of Flight in Scotland, or rather the River Thames part of that journey.
