50th Anniversary







50 years ago, on December 17th 1971, Concorde 101, G-AXDN, flew for the first time.  A lunch to celebrate this anniversary was scheduled for last December 17th, but of course Covid got in the way.  We finally got around to it today.  Simon Peachey, DAS secretary, did the nose droop with many of the aircraft's former engineers present.  Brian and Lesley Kidd, both DAS stewards, posed for the camera, and had a laugh with Alan Longworth and David Hands.  After a good lunch, the guest speaker was Capt. John Hutchinson.
