i had the pleasure of flying concorde LHR-JFK in the 90s. Thrilling. Fast. Not entirely comfy. Like flying inside a really fast pencil. Very little headroom and I'm short. But I remember the car alarms going off and you could hear them. I remember how quiet it was in the cabin after they shut off the after burners. I remember breaking the sound barrier. I remember being invited into the flight deck at cruising altitude and speed. I remember the food and service were absolutely impeccable. It is truly a shame that this lovely bird flies no more but I have pictures and memories to last me the rest of my life!
Lived on Chaucer Avenue at the emd of the runway and can say the noise was not nice, the whole house shook and you meeded to cover your ears even with the windows shut!
true but still disappointing and if you are interested you can check out some war plane videos on my page. do you think war planes are as loud as the concorde?
My neighbour flew with it. He told me that he never ever experienced something like that before. He told me that it was really really noisy, and when they landed in NYC, he was kinda glad that he got off that plane. Plus it was tight. Food was excellent. Fucking Bourgoise.
I once saw this beautiful bird soaring into the sky. The sight and sound was simply heart stopping and gut punching. I just stood there in awe. I would have given anything to have been a passenger on Concorde.
Maria.. Many normal people will like to ✈️fly with Concorde again ,but in today 🌎world not possible ..🙄🙄. Climate. Change fanatics with they're regulations will keep the airplane grounded.. 😒😒
Spectacular! Unfortunately is like seeing the future flying by.. something as awesome as this will not return to the skies anytime soon again.. if ever. What an amazing bird!
Theres actually a group of people here in the UK called The Concorde Preservation Group, and they plan to get a Concorde flying again by 2019.They have over $120,000,000 to do this, so its definitely a possibility. Lets hope.
I live 10 mins from Heathrow and saw her every day. Every day was as exciting as the last. I never, ever got tired of hearing those amazing engines and watching this beautiful bird fly off into the distance. It was literally awesome! 😍
I used to work close to Heathrow and would sometimes see Concorde take off late at night as I walked to Hatton Cross tube station - a truly awesome experience, thanks for uploading - brings back great memories.
Loudest thing I’ve ever heard was the takeoff of a Rockwell B-1B Lancer from an air show, it was at its maximum takeoff weight as it was brimmed with fuel for a long flight back to its home, and in order to get off the ground they locked the brakes and took the engines to full afterburner and held it for a few seconds before releasing the brakes. They managed to do an unrestricted, full afterburner spiral climb to 15,000 feet and even at that altitude it was still very audible over the din of the air show. Set off almost every car alarm in the parking lot.
To fly on her is really something but to even gaze up and see her take off is a real privilege. Thanks for the videos for us who never had that privilege. Beautiful!
I saw this myself one time at Manchester where you can get much closer and theres none of the background lights of the city because the viewing compounds amongst trees and grassland. The whole world just lit up, it was amazing.
i remember standing on hounslow heath golf course as a kid, when the concorde too off people used to hit the deck as it was less than 2 miles from the airport and the ground used to shake and it was the loudest thunder you ever heard, deafening!
Thanks.. You are right... It was uploaded very long ago. I forgot my password so I can not change the title. At that time TH-cam was new and it was the loudest noise I heard on it. I have some more footage which I need to load 😊 glad you enjoyed it.
A lot of these wonderful darkness clips were take in in Autumn 2003 when the enthusiasts already knew that Concorde flight were coming to an end. This was the BA003 evening flight to JFK.
We were in the car on the M25 travelling down to Surrey and concorde went right over us - never forget the sheer power and noise - it felt like the whole car was shaking - what an experience!
i think i how watched all the concorde videos on youtube.this one without doudt has the best quality of sound,almost like you were there..great video..superb sound.good on ya dkatwa....
Yep, i worked in Colnbrook in the late 80s doing import export cargo runs at Heathrow. 7pm Always the lady rumbled over with full afterburners at 300ft setting my car alarm off. It was a fantastic sight to see her. Sorely missed 😢

Glad you liked it. With hindsight, I should have recorded more. Back then we thought it would fly for another 25 years. Don't know you have until its gone 😭
The afterburners on Concorde's when they took off at night makes current airliners look like pigeons.
True... 😁

You are very lucky.. One in a million 😁 thanks for sharing
this got me hard as fuck, bro
So lucky, can't say I'm not jealous lol
Guess the closest way to ride a concorde is a regionel jet like a crj lol (cause the cabin is tiny)
This used to fly over our house in south London. I loved it and always went outside to marvel at its magnificence.
You are so lucky..the sound was 75% of the experience....modern planes just don't match up...

Same it would fly over my house in Catford. I miss that Bad boy 💯❤🙌🏾
you re lucky to feel it
@@kylekeenan3485 Yes, too close.
it is a fuckin disgrace that this thing is grounded
+guguigugu so true and they keep flying f18s and f22s and say fuel effiency is a problem
+anthony lambing but those are war planes, there's always enough money for wars -.-
true but still disappointing and if you are interested you can check out some war plane videos on my page. do you think war planes are as loud as the concorde?
Think of the nature it used the same amount of gas as a car does in six ours when driving to the run way
Beaver Beats it actually used A LOT more than that. not even gonna tell you how much, since you find it so problematic.
For such a pretty plane, she is quite the bad-ass. Love the roar and crackle of her engines. It's music to my ears.
Same here.
Sexy, slender, beautiful with the roar of a thousand lions.
One could say she's both a Beauty AND a Beast.
All the best girls have a bit of mischief hidden away...
I feel disappointed that I have never travelled on this monster
I feel disappointed that it was grounded the year before I was born

Same here. I saw one parked at the terminal at Love Field in Dallas years ago. Looked quite small compared to the DS10s and L1011's parked nearby.

There will be another but it will be smaller
@@sto1asgoetia600 maybe after 2030 we will get more demand for a commercial sst so a similar size should be possible by then
Simarvir S Dhandee If they can make it more fuel efficient and more affordable for a normal human, it may become a viable idea again.
@@OnlineGuitarCovers nothing yet !
I always remember as a kid knowing when a Concorde was flying overhead, even at high altitude, as they were amazingly loud :)
F35's from a nearby Air Force base fly over my house now. Sweet sound.
I remember the day when they were grounded. We watched 5 of them come into Heathrow one after the other.
It was silly to ground them. Wasn't the planes fault it crashed
When I was a kid at school I always remember these roaring over my head. Take me back to the 80s and 90s
man...even today she gives me chills
Somehow this little shaky video captured how awesome it was better than any other ones I've seen.
I wish I could have seen her in real life.
In fact, I have a few other videos that I need to upload. The best ones I have seen are the Oskosh and Lisbon SSC videos on Yt. Enjoy 😁

looks like a damn spaceship

I like how the siren earlier in the video is louder than the Concorde.
True.. And the horn from the lorry 😂
Nee nor

Definitely not lol.
because it’s closer to camera man. if concorde was flying over i bet it would overwhelm the siren sound
To fly on her is really something but to even gaze up and see her take off is a real privilege. Thanks for the videos for us who never had that privilege. Beautiful!

Not sure I've ever seen a 13yr old comment before this is cool
i remember standing on hounslow heath golf course as a kid, when the concorde too off people used to hit the deck as it was less than 2 miles from the airport and the ground used to shake and it was the loudest thunder you ever heard, deafening!
I assume you've not seen a Vulcan in the air ?
I remembered seeing a Concorde at JFK. It was such an amazing aircraft to see in person. God, I miss those days 😪
Thumbs up if you came to see the after burners coming out of those 4 rolls Royce re heated Olympus turbojet engines at night
This video is exactly 17 years old today! I miss these planes
i LOVE the sound that the afterburners give
and the big bright hot combustion flames
shooting out of the afterburners
An amazing plane. I wish I could see and hear that sound with my own ears. 🥲
What a fucking weapon of a plane!
Those after burners were amazing! :D
And to think they build that beautiful bird at a time where cars still had fins and chrome trimming.
BRAVO!! You felt proud to be British.
I’m watching a Concorde documentary on tv whilst watching a Concorde video on my phone , unbelievable
Yep. That always cleared my sinuses 🤣
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be....
This thing looks so cool
So weird how a video taken 16 years ago feels like the future
It would have been taken in 2003 or earlier, so more than 20 years ago.
1:12 onwards.
When you realized this was released on year later after TH-cam was born...
Also great footage man!
Thanks.. You are right... It was uploaded very long ago. I forgot my password so I can not change the title. At that time TH-cam was new and it was the loudest noise I heard on it. I have some more footage which I need to load 😊 glad you enjoyed it.
Most of these darkness clips were shot in late 2003 in the days and weeks before Concorde’s announced retirement.
So sad. She deserves to still be in the air
The sound is beautiful, if only it still existed.
A lot of these wonderful darkness clips were take in in Autumn 2003 when the enthusiasts already knew that Concorde flight were coming to an end.
This was the BA003 evening flight to JFK.
Ian McGreevy think it was the BA1 on an evening departure. BA didnt run the 003 after the crash.
Thank you - I originally had this as BA001 and another commentator told me I was wrong. Rgds
What does rgds mean?
@@andrachannel5193 Regards same as thankyou!
Wow those beautifully lit afterburners are a sight to see. No SSTs before Concorde and none after.
We were in the car on the M25 travelling down to Surrey and concorde went right over us - never forget the sheer power and noise - it felt like the whole car was shaking - what an experience!
I heard and saw Concorde take off from Heathrow in 1982. We were on the roof of the car park. Its something I will never forget.
Stunning old footage and sound
I wish I could flex on friends by going back in time and recording myself flying on it.
I use that petrol station at Hatton regularly. Normal planes are fucking loud going over. Concorde must've been nuts that close
How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
It is a beautiful plane, it’s like something out of star wars
It made the Kessel Run in less than eleven parsecs
I really miss seeing that magnificent bird. I lived close enough to Dulles airport to see and hear it. Windows would rattle!
Most beautiful machine ever.
What an absolute monster
i think i how watched all the concorde videos on youtube.this one without doudt has the best quality of sound,almost like you were there..great video..superb sound.good on ya dkatwa....
in fact, watch Lisbon SSC on YT...the best Concorde video ever!
That's music to my ears
This video proves that the Concorde was the wave of the future
The fact we're watching this decades later with a sigh, too.
I'm so sad I never got to see this beauty fly
"Boy is this a machine" ... Clint Eastwood, Firefox.
Wow 😍😍😍 bring her back please 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Athenna G. IT was a great plane too bad she was too expensive for these companies to run
Donald J. Trump also people where talking about it being to loud c'mon man
Yep, i worked in Colnbrook in the late 80s doing import export cargo runs at Heathrow. 7pm Always the lady rumbled over with full afterburners at 300ft setting my car alarm off. It was a fantastic sight to see her. Sorely missed 😢
Lol I’m gonna play this in class tomorrow on full blast
Louder than the ambulance made the car alarm actives
Hundreds of people would turn out to watch. Awesome
What a pain to know I will never listen to something like that!

Glad you liked it. With hindsight, I should have recorded more. Back then we thought it would fly for another 25 years. Don't know you have until its gone 😭
I used to plane spot on The Queens Building at Heathrow in the 70’s. Concorde was like nothing else
Outstanding! Beautiful!
That was worth the wait. Epic
What a beautifull noise
You would never think this plane was built before pacman on the atari 2600 would you? 😂😂😂
Goosebumps all over my freaking damn body!!! Its too bad I never got to see that bad boy fly in person!!!
Man, I wish they'd bring it back.
They are trying actually
this is so cool she like rock and set car alams off again bad girl x
It sounds like a rocket 🚀!
God its like a spaceship at night
that is extremly awsome
2006.. dear god that was violently loud and scary.. to think something like that flew over london..
The Concorde was nothing more than a huge fighter jet armed with caviar and champagne.
I love it lol, so innocent looking but those Olympus 593 38,000lbs each engines with reheats are beast!!! LOL
We used to be waiting in that bp garage most Sundays or over the other side on newall road back in the day
lol car alarms going off everytime concorde flies in all the videos what a plane
Simply eargasmic
Love it!! Sound of RR olympus = Car alarms and crying babies!!!
thats brilliant, thanks for film it! sound of roar plane, thanks!
The overhead aircraft was 09R, then a right turn of 090, then a heading off 090 if the winds average favored it, it was 09R.
Fabulous!!
When the past looks like the future
holyshit i wish they still made them
I expect it arrived in Daylight--on the same Day.
Very loud indeed, that ambulance was a close second!
2003 near to retirement
0:14 That horn is just a warmup compared to Concorde's 4 afternurner engines at 1:11
My man is on full afterburners on four engines.
Low quality but still great.
Filmed on a 0.5 or 1 Meg Samsung camera. I don't think I have the camera now but I am sure the SD card is lying around
Awesome.
We used to hear her going supersonic over the English Channel back in the day, you could set your watch by it, 'boom-boom', I miss that 😕
Sooo beautiful!! Great video!
What a video. Why on gods earth is that marvel not still in the air.
Yup, that's a powerful bird... 👏
A beast
...aaaaaaaaaaand he's in New York
Stylish departure!
Please do that dkatwa if there anything as close to this one we are in for some treats.!
Happy Christmas to you in Britain!
15 years ago? Crazy
