On Thursday this week the last ever Concorde flight happens.

I'm just sad is all. It overflies my house every day. And is about to go. Last noght and tonight I went to Heathrow to stadn under it as it took off. 4 metre afterburner trails and a sound like a major pop concert. Crowds were there to see it. Traffic stops when it takes off.

There is only one aircraft in the world that people look at and say "There's Concorde". Not "There's a Concorde". As though each is a unique ambassador for the name.

I remember its first flight and I hate seeing it's last.
