Thanks Paul. See you next time!
UK Civil Service/ Independent Councillor /Founder of Multi national Concorde Tour Group/Team Building & Networking
It was exactly Five years ago today, myself along with former staff members from British Airways Concorde Engineering, volunteers from Brooklands Museum, Aerospace Bristol and my good friend, Fred Finn, the Guinness Certified World’s Most Travelled Person, were at BA headquarters at Waterside as the guests of Victoria Madden at British Airways, before we all departed from Heathrow Terminal Five, bound for Seattle to begin our Concorde Fiftieth Anniversary U.S Tour which I had put together over the previous several months. As with all of the Concorde tours I've arranged since 2017, we would be using our preferred travel partner & airline British Airways & British Airways Holidays for this supersonic trip. This fantastic trip and experience would see my Concorde travel group take in 3 Concordes, 2 Space Shuttles, 2 SR71’s and the actual Apollo 11 capsule. I even managed time to visit the final resting place of the late martial arts master, Bruce Lee whilst in Seattle. We visited British Airways Concorde G-BOAG at the The Museum of Flight Seattle, Air France Concorde F-BVFA at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center Smithsonian Washington Dulles (without a doubt the best-preserved Concorde in the World IMHO) and finally the World Record Holder, Concorde G-BOAD at the Intrepid Museum on the Hudson River, New York. I must thank all of those who made this trip so special, Ted Huetter, Senior P.R manager at The Museum of Flight Seattle, Eric Boehm, Intrepid Air & Space Museum, New York, Victoria Madden and the staff at BA Waterside and of course the wonderful crew on our British Airways flight from Heathrow to Seattle for really looking after us. It was a truly unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience, with a wonderful group of lifelong friends all brought together by the enduring legacy, wonder, and dare I say love of this inspirational one-of-a-kind machine, the undisputable Queen of the skies……… Concorde From the future, operated in the past…… British Airways British Airways Holidays Airbus Heathrow Rolls-Royce BRISTOL AERO COLLECTION TRUST Aerospace Bristol Brooklands Museum Intrepid Museum The Museum of Flight Hadley Bourne.
