Fantastic. I was there with my dad quite likely somewhere in that video, will have to study it a bit more. I still have our Special Entry passes for the day. Shame there's no sound as there was quite a cheer when the plane left the ground! Thanks for posting it.
I remember watching this live on telly at the time. We only had b/w back then and all I remember is worrying how much smoke it was making. Thanks for the nostalgia.
My Dad was on that plane. He was an engineer at Rolls-Royce engine division. We have his ticket - he wrote the date and time of take-off on it. Also, I lived next door to Filton airfield at the time
I was in the RAF when Concord 002 landed at RAF Fairford and my unit from RAF Bicester(71 MU -AES&TF)was there to clear up an aircraft accident(Hercules C130)which crashed on take off beside the runway,we had a week to clear the wreckage before Concord landed,we did it just in time! so the unit was allowed to stay to watch the historic event.
Hi Adrian. I am emailing from 'The Gadget Show' on Channel 5 - we'd love to use a few seconds of the footage - do you own the full copyright? Thank you, Elena
