As usual SOP, on its maiden flight (video here, dated from March 1969) the Concorde test crew were conservative: the jet´s speed never exceeded 300 MPH, and the max altitude was 10,000 ft. Its first Supersonic flight was over one year later, OTD in 1970.

“Childhood trauma, more than just a memory, it reshapes the brain. “ We need to remember and understand this , when dealing post “conflict “ trauma from the troubles. It wasn’t just an “incident “, it has shaped many of our life decisions.

@shiv_cybersurg @CcibChris Photo was specifically staged. Wasn’t a regular take off. I suspect it was a low pass without landing and they’ve raised the nose once starting the climb to look better in the photo.

A rare sight...something we will never see again. In the background a Concorde taking off, it was the world's only supersonic passenger jet. In the foreground there’s a space shuttle being transported on the back of a specially modified 747. credit Aviation History

Nervy times ahead in the world of Scottish snow patch hunting. The Sphinx’s less well-known cousin, on Aonach Beag, is probably going to outlast its Cairngorms’ chum and be Scotland’s last. A sad sight to see the last two patches in the country about to expire. 📷 Colin Hutt
