Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
May have said this before so apologies if I have. I contacted British Airways several months before to see if mum would be able to take a flight as she designed concordes windows way back. They did reply but basically to say she could if she bought a ticket along with everyone else! Unfortunately I didn't have £20 odd grand lying around..
Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
17 today thanks zico.
I saw the very last condorde flight from the balcony at home as the Heathrow approach path went over our road. It was three of them one after the other and it was a sad day.
