This almost brings a lump to my throat. Turn the volume up as the recording's quite poor. Then you'll hear the sonic Boom/s.

I would rather a ferry.


I'm with George on this; while not actually scared of flying itself, the cooped-up feeling isn't my idea of fun.

Takeoff rolls on the other hand...

I've been inside a Concorde mockup at that place near Yeovil (I think) and it is indeed cramped. Kind of like the inside of that Bombardier Q400 I flew back from Manchester on at the weekend (cheaper than the train - madness!). Fun to see Exeter from the air at night though...

Back to Concorde; I used to see it fly over every time I was walking home from work in Reading - one amazing sight.
