Farewell to Concorde

9.58.42am UTC (GMT +0000) Wed 29th Oct 2003

Last week, Jenny Tonge MP, and Susan Kramer, prospective parliamentary candidate for Richmond Park, waved farewell to Concorde:

Jenny Tonge MP: "I have always had a love hate relationship with Concorde. In many ways it remains an extraordinary aircraft, but one which was ahead of its time. I would love to have flown in it, and I can only imagine what it must be like to experience supersonic travel."

"On the other hand, I also am one of many who live under the flight path to Heathrow, and with the decommissioning of Concorde, my front room is now a much quieter place, which is why I have mixed feeling about its demise."
