flyvulcan Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft ever! While I didn’t fly in one, a number of times I sat at the intersection holding point at Charles de Gaulle while the Concorde took off using the full length. The roar and crackle of the engines, the noise shaking my own aircraft and the view out of my cockpit window as the Concorde swept past and into the air are sensations I will not forget. RIP Concorde. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozzer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I finished Alex Henshaw's Book 'Sigh For A Merlin' yesterday. He was a production test pilot primarily on Spitfires over 6 and a half years from the first mark to his last Spitfire flight in a Mark 22 in Jan of 1946 . He also tested many Lancasters and wrote fascinatingly about how nice they were to roll during his testing of them and with minimal loading. He enjoyed raising the backside of his co-pilot no more than half an inch off of his seat during the roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
