Today, 24th October 2021: 18 years ago to the day, Concorde had to say goodbye to the skies for the last time. There are now people in the UK and France who are old enough to drink, and never got the opportunity to see her soar. What an extraordinary marvel of engineering Concorde was... She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten.

Then it would rip across the sky with a tremendous roaring sound that no other aircraft could come close to.

If you look at the profits of Airbus & BA now, not to mention the huge demand for it, there is absolutely no reason why at least one Concorde (which remember only had the airframe hours of a 4 year old 737) couldn't be made airworthy for occasional commercial/heritage flights.

@@MrDaiseymay I very much doubt that. If BA were making so much money off of it, they would have pressured the government to continue it's operation. The Concorde lost because it's only perk especially toward the end of it's service was it's speed. You could spend less and get a proper business class/first class seat with the same airline and with competitors. The Concorde was nearing 30 years old when it was retired, Airbus had stopped making parts for the plane. It's cockpit, outdated and required 3 to fly it. International air travel slumped after 9/11. Taking on rising fuel prices made the plane very unappealing for commercial operation. Maybe BA could have had it fly for a little longer, but the plane is a fiscal and ecological nightmare. There won't be commercial supersonic airtravel until a new plane is built.

@@procksomaterman BA were making money of Concorde upto when she retired. However Airbus announced the maintenance charge for Concorde was going up by £30 million pounds which would have been shared by Air France and BA however as Air France were gonna retire Concorde all that cost would have gone all to BA which then meant Concorde would have been non profitable for them which lead to it's sad early retirement. BA was certified to fly them until 2009 whether they would off we would never know. You can tell it all escalated very quickly as BA just spent £14 million doing up Concorde interior when it rentered service in November 2001 and as you can imagine if they knew they were gonna retire the fleet in less than 2 years no way would they have spent that money.

Concorde is a symbol of an era when British engineering and innovation led the world. When she was finally killed off, a part of our collective soul as an engineering nation died with her, in my opinion. I often wonder what those scientists and engineers who thrived in those optimistic post-war years would make of things today. People whose genius overcame various bungling governments and resource shortages to produce beautiful, cutting edge achievements like Concorde, which shaped the world of the time, and made Britain a world leader, can't have foreseen things developing as they are now. Our civilian aerospace industry chopped up and flogged off, and reduced to making wings and other bits for dreary, generic subsonic airliners that would have been considered backward thinking if proposed 40 years ago. We don't and never have lacked the ability. What we need to do is rediscover our self-belief and sense of purpose again before it's too late.

Then G-BOAG JFK to LHR 24.10.2003 final flight from New York Kennedy airport to London Heathrow . So sad it’s gone from the skies now.
