I was reading Angela Willis' report about Concorde's visit.

I had the good fortune to be "airside" when it arrived and have a picture of her just about to land. (see below)

There was indeed a report of a technical fault which was going to delay Concorde's departure. At about 4:30pm, word had it that it would either be fixed "in a couple of hours" or "not until tomorrow morning".

In the event, I gather it departed rather sooner. Unfortunately I was unable to stay until that time.

Great picture Don! I actually have it in my bedroom in a frame, because you gave it too me after one of our day-trips to birmingham.
