I was lucky enough to fly on this plane back in 96, the speed and climb at take off and rapid decent when landing were amazing so different to any other flight that I have been on
Sorry to tell you this, but the date on the video is wrong. The last flight of any Concorde anywhere in the world was G-BOAF on 26th November 2003 from London Heathrow to Filton near Bristol. The last flight of Concorde G-BOAC which is now displayed at Manchester was 31st October 2003. In this video, the airframe is G-BOAG, which visited Manchester as part of the farewell tour on 22nd October 2003, just a few days before operating the final ever scheduled supersonic Concorde flight as BA002 from JFK to LHR. Great video though, thanks for sharing.
They say the Concorde had an excellent safety rating. They failed to mention that there were well over 50 wheel blow outs particularly on take off. With a fully laden aircraft, 100 passengers, 4 crew, 3 up the front there was a fair amount of weight on those back wheels. Then they have to get to over 400 kilometers an hour before they can rotate. This is a ridiculous speed for takeoff putting immense strain on the back tyres. No wonder they were constantly blowing, at least British Airways took precautions and modified the wheels so that in the event of a blowout it was less likely that chunks of tyre would be thrown up at incredible speed into the underneath of the Wings where the fuel tanks are. Air France didn't bother to do this and they said that they would just be checking the wheels thoroughly before takeoff. Well they bent every safety rule in the book on flight 4596.

I saw concorde in 2018 on a school trip to Manchester Airport and I went inside it.
