| ‘A brilliant memorial to a great departed machine’ | | – Jeremy Clarkson |
‘An elegiac witness to Concorde’s last summer, a Homeric record of so many armchair Icaruses’ – A.A. Gill
‘Concorde was born from dreams, built with vision and operated with pride, but it was always the people who loved her that made her immortal. None loved her more than the public who followed her last summer.’ – Mike Bannister
As the last flight of Concorde drew near in 2003, people gathered at the end of runways and on airport terminal roofs to marvel one last time at the speed and elegance of an aircraft so iconic that it was always referred to in the singular –
‘Concorde’.
