Concorde roars again!

Concorde F-BTSD blasts out of Paris/Orly (headed for Paris/de Gaulle) fresh after a new painting. You can almost FEEL her roar!

.....and the excitement it gave me has stayed with me always. Last year i was at the Duxford looking at Concorde. Not far from me there was a father with a couple of kids about the age i was back then looking with interest and it made me feel a little sad for them. They were just looking at a lifeless exhibit and I thought...your never going to see it alive, hear the noise, feel the vibration or experience what it was that blew the mind of that little boy all those years ago.

I remember 1978 being a small boy at a air show. We were standing as close to the runway as permitted. At that age Concorde was stuff every little boy dreamed of. Sitting on my dads shoulders i remember seeing her start the take off run, getting faster and closer to us with every second. Overwhelmed with excitement, fixated in wonder as it rotated right level of us. The noise was defining, the air shook and the vibration went right through my body. Memories of that childhood moment....

The Verve and the Concorde is a marriage made in heaven.
