Lovely shot. Concorde is a thing of beauty too, all done with pen/paper/slide-rules of course.

At about the time the SS Great Britain was being repatriated, Concorde was undergoing its initial test flights. We saw an early one take off from Filton from across the Bristol Channel in Wales. In those days, it was allowed to do sonic booms as it flew along the Welsh coast. Bloody hell it was loud!
