ABSTRACT
March 2, 1969. I can clearly remember watching the first Concorde flight. There had never been such a breathtakingly beautiful aircraft! It looked as though it didn’t need engines at all – just a slight push at the end of the runway and it would soar into the sky like a paper dart. What a contrast to the great lumbering jumbo jets! I had seen the future of air travel, and it was a triumph of Anglo-French design and engineering excellence.
