In June 2000, Geoffrey and Carole were thrilled to
be passengers in the Concorde flying at Mach 2 from London to New York, especially as
Geoffrey was involved in the development of the original Olympus engines
at Bristol (and especially as the Concorde has now finally stopped
flying). Not only was the Concorde the fastest commercial aircraft it was
one of the safest aircraft ever to fly and one of the longest in service. |
