Concorde plus other aircraft near to Heathrow Airport.

A short film taken 'many years ago' from a street location near to London's Heathrow Airport showing aircraft (including Concorde) which had just become airborne flying off into the distance, plus a still image of Concorde as seen from an aircraft taxiing at the airport.

Concorde's demise on 24th October 2003 was inspired by accountants; this being "just typical" for a nation where the price of everything is known - but the value of nothing. One traveller on the last flight described alighting from the plane as being "one small step for him - and one giant leap backwards for humankind" - although the information found by Gary McKinnon (who hacked into NASA and the US military) suggests that our governments already have very advanced space capable aircraft.

Actually, in close examination of those two clips of the 757,,,,both indeed have the Rolls engines....You can tell this by the common duct engine nacelle.....And as I stated whether its an old or new 757 doesnt mean it doesnt have Rolls engines...The 757 initially came with the Rolls RB211-535 engines but an alternative for some airlines like United or Delta or Northwest chose the P&W 2037...

@AccessAir But with most 757 videos that are old, they all use the engines these are using not the RR.

@harrihealey02 The 757 came with either Pratt and Whitney engines or Rolls Royce...Matter factly the RR engines were the the first ones to be put on 757....The Pratts came later...A 757 ordered with Rolls engines kept them, and likewise with a Pratt powered 757.

Wow I don't want to sound geeky :-) but those 757s are really old because they don't have the rolls royce engines.

Good ol' Concorde! I remember that awful noise fondly. I have relatives in Surrey and I used to look up in awe when Concorde roared overhead.
