• My ticket to the final landing.
  • A jumbo landing on the north runway.
  • A Concorde taxis to the north runway.
  • This aircraft was to take a flight over the Bay of Biscay.
  • It was some considerable distance away from the grandstand.
  • Another landing while waiting for Concorde to depart.
  • Behind the trees (left of centre), Concorde begins to accelerate.
  • The thrust is visible behind the aircraft!
  • And faster ...
  • The nose lifts.
  • Up and away ...
  • And another landing ...
  • Woops - it flew into the cloud before the shot was taken!
  • Concorde passes over Heathrow.
  • This was at some height ...
  • The first of three Concordes approaches the north runway flying in from the East.
  • Closer - the exhaust fumes visible behind the Rolls Royce engines.
  • Almost there ...
  • Almost ...
  • The wheels are just about to make contact.
  • And within seconds, the next Concorde approaches.
  • Getting closer ...
  • The drooped nose clearly visible as landing is seconds away.
  • Touchdown!
