Concorde Flight to Iceland

I hope this short film gives you some experience of sights and sounds from inside the cabin of Concorde. It was sad to see AA lifeless in the Museum but I am please to see that it is housed with tender loving care. If you listen carefully, you will hear
the roar of the take-off, the increased wind noise as the landing gear is extended, the reflection of the noise from the tarmac as we came in to land. You'll notice in the cockpit that our First Officer was Barbara Harmer, the first and only woman Concorde pilot. Apologies for the vertical banding in the cockpit shot. This seems to be the feature of the mp4 compression. In the cockpit, you may notice that the airspeed was 386kts, the height was 31,400ft, the Mach meter was reading 1.01 -- so the video of the flight deck was as we were passing through the speed of sound! I'll upload some clips without backing music so that it is easier to hear the cabin sounds. Music: Flower Duet from an opera called "Lakmé" by Delibes and
sound track from the film "The Mission". Composer Ennio Morricone

It would give me MORE sounds if you didnt use the lame "angel music" at the start. Pointless.

@Lear23Driver : I realise that the music would not be to everyone's taste. Please visit the video of the same flight without music  "Sounds from the cabin of Concorde G-BOAA"

The Senior First Officer flying the Aircraft is Barbara Harmer, the first and only woman to fly Concorde who lost a long battle against cancer on 20/02/11.

Goodbye Barbara go and fly higher and faster than anyone else or any woman so far in history forever. You will be remembered by your former colleagues as an inspiration to the Concorde Fleet and operation. We will miss you. RIP.... Joe xx

Thanks for letting us know. Very sad and sorry to hear the news. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends. I too am sure that she will be held in high regards by her friend and colleagues and will be an inspiration for future women pilots.

@Cabsmell I was wondering that myself? Has he answered this yet?

[truck1962]

oh to have been able to fly on the Concorde at least once.That would have been too cool.

[gatormanism]

can anyone tell me the name of the song at the end of the video?

[StaleCrumbs]

Really nice video,the music adds nicely to it also :-)

[TheCoalMinningAddict]

It is sad that after the crash they did not attempt to replicate it.

[dallas184]

i bet that was a brilliant flight being on the edge of space at mach 2.00

[buhrrito]

free peanuts and blankets?

[America100000able]

Guys the music is Flower Duet. This is the advertising music for British Airways.

[Cabsmell]

How long was the flight?

@Jetlag003 Thank you for that important note. God Bless her soul. Sympathy to her family.
