Issue 12: October 2017

This month we take an in-depth look at two important facets of the Concorde engineers’ job: certification flight tests and preparing to take Concorde to new charter destinations.

Former BA Flight Engineer David Macdonald, and Flight Shift Manager Pete Comport, talk us through the array of complex tasks involved in certification flights. BA Licensed Aircraft Engineer Philip Cairns shares his memories of inaugurating a new charter destination for Concorde – taking her to Greenland.

In addition, we have news from a gathering of Concorde preservation groups at Duxford, and a preview of the new Aerospace Bristol exhibition at Filton.
