Concorde performed impeccably on the scheduled services between London or Paris and New York. How did the aircraft cope, though, with arriving at an unfamiliar airport or a remote destination?
In this issue we look at the challenges – and surprising benefits – of handling Concorde in snow and fog. This leads in to the main feature, on Concorde charter operations. We hear from some of those who took the aircraft to new destinations and to some of the most isolated places on Earth; the reminiscences include a cheetah on the flight deck and a spectacular double Concorde landing at Orlando.
The issue ends with Concorde Watch reports from Manchester and Duxford, as well as some exciting news from Filton.
