Heathrow used to have a battery charging facility because people would get back home from their holidays to find a flat battery due to their car alarms going off every day due to Concorde taking off!!
Just love the way all the car brake lights come on as the drivers stop to look at her. She was the only aircraft that could do that and it never, ever got old.
I love the Concorde for what it could achieve, but efficiency is the responsible and mature path for the future of our species. I don't think it's worth reminiscing too much.
@@WouterTVLook at the climate of Venus, and it has no life polluting it. The planet has cycles and even if we stop wrecking ours it will wreck itself. I mean the next ice age is coming no matter what we do.
Concorde was actually destined to fly well beyond 2003 possibly even into 2017 or 18 . There was a time when they were thinking of digitalising the flight deck but they didn't due to the fact that the anolauge was working well enough
This is the best Concorde video I have ever seen. A lightweight, sporty takeoff with thunderous sound. Just beautiful. We will never see her like again.
Great vid - brings back better times That was empty - but even so - flew her (3) diff times - and the earth shook & it was so fast & LOUD w/ add to the thrill if watching Windsor castle go into a dot & smell of burning in the narrow cabin - with afterburners lite Great times to remember- thx 4 this !!!!
Hermoso 🤩! Tal vez sea poco describir al Concorde con una sola palabra . Era hermoso en todo . Ojalá vuelva algún día , no la versión nueva , sino la misma nave sin ningún tipo de cambios en su diseño ♥️
Así mismo, a mi también me gustaría que vuelva a volar esa nave súper ruidosa pero la más rápida, elegante y segura que se haya inventado hasta la fecha 👌
as a child a flew in a Connie (KLM) from Schiphol to Santiago de Chile (think all together 72 hours...) and indeed I had the pleasure of flying Concorde to Singapore!
Fantastic video, such a shame they stopped the Concorde from flying. Also, the taxi going past? It looks as though it was travelling abit slower than the plane taking off, why was that? Like, I know the plane was travelling much faster, but for some unknown reason, it looked as though the car was travelling just that bit slower
An airplane like that needed to make music with its afterburners. So the car alarms go off. Oh well, big deal. The world got longer when she went forever to sleep. So sad. Still nearly 20 years after her last flight, still very impressive.
Beautiful Never to be seen again, and do You know what, as You drive into Heathrow now just before The Tunnel Guess What We've Got stuck there, A Poxy Emirates A380 ? Makes You Proud to be British ??????????????????
@@MartinWallman No problem... I am surprised in the years since you posted the video, nobody has bothered to mention it. Actually, I have just (the day I type this for people viewing this comment in the future) come home after viewing Alpha Charlie at MIA...
@@Trek001 Hi Trek001 I am surprised nobody noticed my date error too, as there are many very knowledgeable and dedicated Concorde fans around, I meet many in 2003. Surely BOAC is at Manchester not MIA = Miami?
@@MartinWallman *looks* Ah, yes... I am also a railway enthusiast and often refer to places by their three letter station identifiers... Manchester's is MIA
Love it,love how it sets all the car alarms off,even a lorry driver has pulled over to watch it take off,such a beautiful piece of engineering

There was that much love for the Concorde people even parked on the road to watch the beautiful plane fly amazing
Back when technology was all about “look what we can do”, rather than “look how efficient we can be”, or “look how much energy we can save”
I love the Concorde for what it could achieve, but efficiency is the responsible and mature path for the future of our species. I don't think it's worth reminiscing too much.

And look at the climate problems we got now

My favourite part of all these videos is how all the alarms in lesser vehicles are cheering for the plane after it leaves.
What a beautiful aircraft !!! Nothing would beat it absolutely stunning...
When u see a normal plane no one takes much notice when u see concorde everyone stops and takes on the beatifulness and sound of this beautiful plane
Elegant as a swan and power of fighter jet stunning
Wonderful Capture Martin, thankyou for sharing it with us.. nice to enjoy it all these years later! :)

I like the lorry driver who's just parked up for a good look
This beauty is now at Manchester Airport for anyone who'd like to get onboard 👍
but it's just sitting there, makes me sad :(
So Sad....This Beautiful Baby flew over my house on its way to land at Heathrow...And it was always on time...Absolutely Beautiful Aircraft 💯♥️🇬🇧😭
*🇬🇧🇨🇵
Instant like and favorites. Brilliant video m8, that plane was just epic! And just listen to all the car alarms it set off xD
Still crying after all these years 😢

Thank you for this!
Hear the car alarms she used to set off!
❤
Emotional
Quantas saudades!
Great video. Many thanks 👏
You are very welcome
What a beautiful aircraft the Concorde was! Shame it’s retired but all god things sadly have to go some day
Beautiful Airplane!

really made its presence known with those 4 mighty olympus engines at full bore
Breathtaking
Even the cars are cheering! 😂🥰

So cool, the power!
Beautiful
I've sat in that concorde
So elegant
Best take off ever!
Wow

Fully Agree !! Concorde Should Be There.
bring the beast back in to the air
beautiful
Are you sure on the date...?
Alpha Charlie's last flight was to Manchester for retirement on October 31st
Well spotted thank you, you are correct. It was 31st October 2003, I typed it wrong, I shall correct it.

I think this was the Flight to Manchester when British Airways gave one of the Concorde’s to them after its retirement
It is - G-BOAC
@@tigershoot 👍
Will there be a hypersonic concorde which goes from London to America in an hour?
No
She would still be the most beautiful aircraft in the world.
I agree
😢
Here is whst true jet power sounds like!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A BOOM!!!!!
Alas for pooor america! So envious they just had to legislate it out of existence.
It was killed by the EU...
@@nickmageebrown1981 And that too,lol.
Concord 1 - Car Alarms 0
