Concorde at Manchester Airport

& videos of the last flights

Manchester airport has born a new arrival, Concorde!. It is not as big as you might think. It is very aerodynamic from nose to tail, like a needle flying through the sky. Alas Concorde will no longer fly. It has been in the skies over Manchester a few times and made a tremendous deep roar like no other aircraft.

Concorde Information History and Video

Concorde by Frederic Beniada from Amazon.co.uk

"The author tells the behind-the-scenes story of an airliner, the like of which we will never see again: interviews with famous personalities, secrets only the mechanics knew, the experience of co-pilots and air hostesses reveal little-known aspects of Concorde and life on board."

See some great flying jokes

it is so noisy

The greatest flying machine ever

I love Concorde's they rock! =]

i went on Concorde at Manchester and it was brill.

Yes, I really do miss the roar of those engines as it took off over my house setting off every alarm in the area, Nothing will ever come close to Concorde. Sadly missed. Ken

i love Concorde. I wish it could still fly

Why do we do this with transportation? Here (in U.S.) we had world's most advanced high speed trains, then we just forgot about them. Now France has TGV and we have Amtrak. US and Europe had best streetcar systems now we have "light rail" which is slower than the old inter urban lines. And US was the biggest problem for Concorde, we tried to ban it a bunch of times and even then it couldn't fly supersonic over US airspace. Imagine if you could fly Concorde from NY to Los Angeles in 2 hrs! Or less! People are very small minded when it comes to transport.

good to see the details

this is the best aircraft in the world i have seen

il étais cool mais adieux R.I.P

Class!!!

The best aircraft I have ever seen too. RIP Concorde - Paul

i think Concorde is the best plane ever and they should make it fly again

Gazza from Aussie - "fantastic pic's"

I think Concorde is wicked

I visited the airport 1 week ago plane spotting. Concorde is outstanding and breath taking but the problem is that there should be more signs around the airport saying where the Concorde is

Manchester Airport puts on a superb show for Concorde, having this plane is world class. The first time I visited Concorde I was foot sore and weary after wandering around for a hour trying to find the place on foot. Been down there a few times now and one always sees people wandering about appearing a little lost, trying to find the place. There are a couple of signs but obviously not enough. Any one from Manchester Airport reading this, he does have a point. Any chance of a few more signs please ? :-) Y2U

fantastic# - brilliant

I would like to know if Concorde is open to the public on Good Friday ? - Thanks

For Easter 2006 the answer is yes

I will miss Concorde...I still cannot believe it won't fly anymore ... incredible:(
