I remember exactly where i was when this was happening, i was walking to work and just left Hunts on Southmead road and traffic stopped as it came over so low i could almost touch it. I remember the detail down to what i brought in the shop lol a packet of lamb and mint walkers sensations. I carried on walking and the heavens well and truly opened!
Hi James, I lived on the hill west of the Severn and I remember the prototype being flown over our house and turning to go back to Fairford. That was before the engine noise was moderated. To say that it shook me is an understatement!! I later moved to SE London on the LHR inbound flight path and saw it every day. If that was not enough we could hear sonic boom of the Air France Concorde coming up the Channel (they put an end to that!)
@@KurdistanLazo yeah but the concorde was a massive money sink and attracted much lower passengers in its final years. the sonic booms meant its actual usability was very limited (basically only services over oceans were viable)
Well followed with the camera there. And youve captured the sound well too. You could always tell when concorde was flying over. It had such a distinctive sound, different from your normal planes. Like its saying - im coming over - come out & look up at me.
CORRECTION TO ABOVE. Concorde (316) the last one ever made, in 1979, reg , G---BOAF, made the final Concorde Landing in the world, at FILTON BRISTOL, on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26th, 2003. WHERE SHE NOW (AT LAST) RESIDES IN HER WONDERFUL NEW MUSEUM. GO SEE HER.
It wasn't it's subsonic noise that people complained about. I lived in Cornwall while it was still operational and as it came in from the Atlantic you'd hear the sonic boom which at times was loud enough to rattle the workshop roof where I worked. It's two loud bangs, there is videos on here of sonic booms. It never bothered me in fact it was nice to hear her coming in but there was a number of people who complained about it.
What the actual flip flops?!!! I saw the last 3 land from my work in London & it was nothing like this!! Good old Brizzle got a better look at them than London!🤣🤣🤔 Did they do a goodbye low flyby?
@@JP_TaVeryMuch No. Plenty of rich folks about to take care of that. Plenty of money in those circles. Note..it was grounded shortly after 9/11. That's no coincidence. Thy took away 2 great icons in the space of 2 years. Now thyre destroying everything else . How it looks to me.
I still think it is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever!!!
Who could argue with that. In modern terms, it has no equal.

Like it was Concorde herself crying.
I was at Filton Airport to see it land, I was 9. Great memory.
i was there on the a38 it came up the road and flew over our heads and over across the suspension bridge i will never forget it

One small step back for man. One giant leap backwards for man kind.
Ain’t it the truth.
not really
@@jos4669it is it would takes 3-4 hours to from America to uk while modern day jets take around 7-8 hours

Agreed. The way it banked to the right looks majestic
@@gullygully69 'IS' majestic.
our legend is gone

Magical queen of the skies....
Amazing shot of speed bird.
Was driving up M5 and saw it go over Filton for last time..

Craig Pickles we had 5,500 complaints on noise and I don't doubt u
We doubt you had even 1 noise complaint 9 car. You had nothing to do with Concorde, let alone even be a pilot in her.
@@jimgemmell2831 WTF are you on about?
@@bobswan6196 on about 9 car. Keeps saying he's a former Concorde pilot. No he isn't
I enjoy this airport very clean and food was delicious
????
Did u mean Bristol airport ?
Why on earth did people complain about the noise? That was quiet! Quieter than an A380!
It was very loud during takeoff as it required afterburners...
Nice Video
What a beautiful sight. Pity it had to run at a loss!
Except in was November 26 2003
#Concorde's
I was there that day, grown men cried
😭😭
How do thry manage to make a cuppa at that angle
It's always been the law in the UK to pee down whenever there is a flypast or airshow, beautiful aircraft by the way very sadly missed 😢
Should have flown under the bridge
😿

I was brown around this time

i was born in bristol :D
Nice job. BA should be ashamed
I've boycotted them ever since.
Bastards!
America insisted they were grounded. Not BA.
@@SuperLuckaoAnd ultimately the great power of Mammon. Replacement parts were prohibitively expensive as there was too small a stable of Concordes.

Some may think it was Blair who killed off Concorde to appease US but I could not possibly comment
Anyone playing Simpsons hit and run on ps2 at this time?
Lol at least spell it’s names correctly.🙄🙄
