Great video. We were airborne in a Hawk doing circuits as Concorde was taxing. We were told to hold off to allow Concorde not to miss it's Oceanic clearance. As she lifted off we turned in behind her and had the most glorious viewpoint :-) We followed for a bit, keeping a safe distance, but just dumbstruck at the amazing sight. A memory etched in my mind.

.This was not the first Concorde flight out of Wiltshire. There were several back in1986 of which I was on one flight in G-BOAD from "D" Sqdn apron on 1 December 1986. On board was the Commandant and the Supt of Flying and several other lesser Boscombe Down mortals.

I think it was a special trip to America and, of course, who wouldn't want to fly from beautiful Boscombe!

It was arranged by the owner of Bath Travel at the time. A short trip from Heathrow to Boscombe Down, of which I was a passenger. It then refuelled and loaded new passengers for the trip to New York. I took a video of the trip, but quality not good, as taken on a pre digital camera, but hope to upload soon. The most amazing day being close up to Concorde and actually flying into Boscombe Down.
