This web site is my small tribute to Concorde, one of the most technologically advanced and beautiful machines ever built. I have always been a fan of this aircraft for as long as I can remember; the first prototype rolled out of the hanger in the same year I was born and I remember growing up hearing all the news stories about it, especially the day in 1976 when it first went into passenger service.

Of the 20 Concorde aircraft ever built, the domain name of this site comes from the registration mark of one of the British Airways aircraft, G-BOAE (known as Alpha Echo). This particular aircraft (production model number 212) is one of only 2 passenger aircraft ever built which has made more than 7000 supersonic flights and it was also on this aircraft that my life long ambition of flying on Concorde was realised.

I have included some of the photographs of my flight on 19/08/2003. There are also some photographs that I took at Heathrow Airport a few weeks later as Alpha Echo prepared to make an evening departure for New York

I have also included some photos of Alpha Golf, which were all taken around Heathrow Airport during 2003.

On the last day of supersonic passenger service (24/10/2003), Alpha Echo was one of 3 Concorde aircraft that flew (the only one to make 2 flights that day!), on a round trip from London to Edinburgh and back. On returning to Heathrow, Alpha Echo landed directly before Alpha Foxtrot and Alpha Golf (last supersonic passenger flight from New York). I have included some photos of Alpha Echo leaving from and arriving back to Heathrow,

Alpha Echo was given the honour of making the last ever transatlantic crossing by a supersonic passenger aircraft (on 17/11/2003) on her way to retirement in Barbados. However, the last ever Concorde flight was made by her 'sister' aircraft, Alpha Foxtrot on 26/11/2003. This flight was made from London Heathrow back to Filton, where all the British Concorde aircraft were built, via a supersonic trip around the Bay of Biscay. I have included the photos that I took on that day as AF headed for the runway (27R) at LHR for the very last time. Unfortunately, the weather was very dull and the sky was crying along with many of the spectators. It was still a spectacular sight and she was given a wonderful send off....
