http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34301689I remember well the first time I heard the different sounding (read 'noisy') engines and looked up. Wow, I thought, that's Concorde! That was late 1970s after I first arrived down south, living for a while under the flight path.
In 2003, towards the end of the service, I was again regularly spending time under the flight path. The 'wow' moment hadn't worn off. It thrilled me again, and I still miss it.
I do remember, at least in the times I was under the flight path, it always flew on time. You could literally set your clock by it. Was it 11am and 7pm USA bound out of Heathrow, if I remember right?
