- Опубліковано 8 лис 2014
- I've always been a fan of all things that fly, be it Civil, Military or TimeMachines from 80's Movies ;-) My friend Ray's favourite flying machine is the Concorde and his girlfriend very kindly purchased a gift voucher for him and +1 to go and visit G-BOAC at Manchester Airport. This video was shot with my iPhone 6s and edited using iMovie.

I’ve just found out yesterday that your not (technically) allowed to record the WHOLE tour around Concorde at the RVP, because the people who work there now don’t want visitors to record every bit of whole thing because it is a (TOUR). That means people can see everything of that tour on UA-cam on any video. Sorry to put a downer but that’s what they told me.
But the good thing is you CAN film, but it can only be like a 5 or 10 second quick video and the photos are fine as well. Hope this gives you an idea in mind for future reverence and visits. 😊
I seriously wish the supersonic airliner was functional today rather than just being a museum exhibit.
Why 💁🏿♂️Are you loaded 🤷🏿♂️
@@thebeast2746 no man
@@supersaiyan3704 same I wish it never retired if it wasn’t for the Air France Concorde crash
Chuffed for you, Dean and Ray! What aircraft, indeed!
It was awesome mate, was a dream come true
Great Video Dean, I actually flew on a Nimrod in the 70,s and my profile pic is me on the flight deck of Concorde a few days after it's last flight into Manchester back in Nov 2003. I was an engineer back then for British Airways CitiExpress
Great video Dean. Don't tell him cos I don't want to embarrass him, but Paul (@Iomadh) turned down a trip round Concorde at Manchester Airport when he was a toddler. We lived nearby at the time. His Uncle was a steward on Concorde at the time and we went to see him off. I remember watching it lift off, boy what a sight. Magnificent.
I would have loved to have seen Concorde in flight, especially during take off. Hopefully one day it will be resurrected and used for displays. Thanks for watching and commenting
I saw a Nimrod perform at an airshow at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware (USA) years ago. After doing all sorts of aerobatics, it landed and the crew started piling out of it... on and on... something like 13 people. It was nuts! It was an incredible experience to be sure.
A short time before concorde was decommissioned, they were doing short 30 minute flights, take off, mach 1 then land for around I think , quote me if I'm wrong, 350 quid, haunts me to this day that me and the Mrs didn't do it 😭 but we was not to know at that time the outcome of concorde 😭
I think you're right mate, they were doing flights down to the Bay of Biscay and back from somewhere down south but I'm not sure of price. Gutted I missed out too :-(
now saves me going- free tour! :) cheers mate. glad you guys enjoyed it!
Haha thanks for watching Grant :-)
Manchester Airport - British Airways Concorde G-BOAC & Nimrod Tour
Nice Video! Subscribed. Been to the visiter park before never done the tours though. It is a great atmosphere there :)
So cool, thanks for sharing
+JulianS2K thanks for watching Julian
Great video dean 👌been wanting to visit the concorde now for some years 😀 might take my boys next year 👍👍👍
You should definitely go mate, I'm sure the lads would love it, I know I would have at their age :-) thanks for watching Craig
I was lucky to have flown on her (3) times, it was fantastic from check-in to boarding directly from the Concorde lounge at terminal 4 or JFK. However Heathrow lounge was a bit nicer I think.
Nice menu if you wished or just many trays of canapés and finger sandwiches , with a full bar and old school bar keep.
Dom P. & Taitinger Rose , and a vintage La tour and a white all on ice.
Was a quick flight , really just enough time to enjoy 4 course meal with endless glasses of Krug and Le Grande Dame.
Caviar and canapés , lobster fish cakes - Desert , cheese course w/fruit & biscuits and a great port. Tea / Coffee - espresso & digestifs plus Swiss chocolates were on offer.
Sterling silver tie taks , money clips etc for departure gifts
3hr 15 min flight was over very quickly and you gained 1.45 mins on the return land in NYC at 5pm leaving about 645pm from LHR…
I do wish everyone that was viewing it , did have a chance to fly on her - it was a amazing flight - 60k ceiling and 1 mile every 2 seconds.
Prior to 9/11 - everyone that wanted a to visit and have their Concorde certificate authenticated by captain could - FA would take ppl in pairs to HoT and tiny cockpit. I sat in jump seat behin the captain for 10-15 mins. And cld clearly make out the curvature of the earth at 60k and smooth as silk ride , above all turbulence!
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice video mate. Enjoyed watching that. They have one at Duxford and I couldn't believe how small and narrow they are. Shame one isn't still flying. Would be a crowd pleaser at air shows for sure.
Yeah I was very surprised too at how narrow it was, it really is a shame that it will probably never fly again. Maybe one day a private buyer will get one airborne again and take it to shows etc.
We can but hope ay? Seeing as the Vulcan is inevitably going to be grounded very soon, we won't have anything let that is 'special'. Not even a Harrier although I think there was one at a show somewhere this year.
Awesome Deano, And Ray was loving it by the look of him. Good stuff lads : )
Thanks for watching Jay, looking forward to bushcraft night mate ;-)
Dean Read
Oh yes my son!! I cant wait : )
And i think i spotted that bit in the vid you mentioned earlier, i'll tell you in the morning to see if i'm correct haha ; )
Bring on the Bushy :-) haha
A true icon of flight but OMG £7000+ a ticket back in the day!!!
Cheers Dean.
Thanks for watching Terry, it was a great experience. I'm a peasant so would never have been able to afford £7k to go onboard:-)
Dean Read Makes two of us pal lol.
:-) Shame it will never fly again, would have been nice to have actually seen it light up the afterburners during takeoff
Fantastic! What a great day out. Both iconic aircraft that I'd love to get a look at.
Thanks for sharing.
Has Ray stopped smiling yet? :-P
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
He hasn't stopped smiling yet :-) it was such a great day and something we had both talked about doing for a while, thankfully his mrs got the tickets as we would have been 'just talking' about it for ages without doing anything about it :-)
Thanks for watching :-)
Great video, have you seen the power up videos of this aircraft from 2011? The Filton, Bristol Concorde is going to be put into a new museum due to open there in early 2017
Thanks for watching Stefan, I hadn't seen the power up videos. I've just had a quick search, wow!! They really are awesome machines
You should come over to California at the Ronald Regan Presidential Library where they have Air Force One displayed and just like the Concorde guided tours inside the airplane. Another is the Space Shuttle Endeavour where you can see it person. Take care! I love your video, thank you for sharing! :)
David Partido I would love to visit the Space Shuttle, i've seen Endeavour from a distance while it was on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center but would love to get up close. I was obsessed with it after watching the movie "Space Camp" as a child :-) thanks for watching
Great Video! :)
Thanks for watching :-)
I prefer these analogue cockpits to the modern glass ones. Much more of a realistic feeling.
Concorde looks good with the poppy
I think they should start the engine as lart of the tour so u can hear the roar.
That would be nice 😎👍
Lots of planes you could tour...
What is with windshield??
Great video of two iconic planes just a shame to the windscreen of Concorde still smashed
Thanks for watching Steffan, I really enjoyed the experience but it's such a shame the Concorde may never fly again
Steffan 323 there are no unused Concorde windshields so they can't replace it :(
Im of on a tour tomorrow
+Tyler Seaton Hope you enjoyed the tour Tyler, thanks for watching the video
i went there once
Thanks for watching Stephen
i like the video
ikr
+Dominic Subryan tfw
Guess what I`ll be doing when next visiting the Inlaws!
We really enjoyed it, definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching
You want to get yourselves to Cosford RAF Museum. It's brilliant rafmuseum.mobi
The guy doing the internal tour of the plane has such a quiet voice, I could barely hear him
Same I can’t hear what he says
if only Airbus and Rolls Royce could get 1 of them in the air again just to show off and for charter flights, would love see her fly again. Bet she would still make more money for Airbus than their A380 has in its lifetime so far.
+guitarplayerforu it's a shame really, would be great to see one back in the air as we don't even have a Vulcan flying now
+Dean Read it's a real shame Boeing or Airbus couldn't make a modern day version of concorde that only cost what say a 777 cost to operate and carried say 300-500 passengers. I think the nicest aircraft we have today is the 787 Dreamliner.
+guitarplayerforu agreed, I do like the A380 for size and comfort but the 787 is nice, only flown on that once myself
It's a pity at the end of the video you said British Airways don't care anymore. If they didn't care, they could have sold the aircraft off, but they didn't because they do care. The aircraft were grounded following a decision by Airbus, the successor firm of Aérospatiale and BAC, to discontinue maintenance support. Without that, the licence to fly it would have been revoked by the Civil Aviation Authority due to airworthiness. This is why Air France and BA made the announcement to retire the aircraft on the same day. So any idea that it could have continued flying is misinformed. No concorde anywhere has flown since these retirements for this reason alone. Richard Branson said he would, but it was just false publicity over using his exuberant personality. Otherwise nice video. The concorde at Brooklands is worth a visit too.
Thanks for watching. When I mentioned about British Airways not caring I was quoting what the guide told us on the tour. I'm not 100% clued up on the ins and outs of why Concorde can't fly sadly myself but they did mention some of the facts you shared in your comment.
British airways rolled on there back to easy but still I blame the french.
+Nick Mcguire Rubbish. You have just made that up. You know nothing about it.
Brittish Airways are hogging the concord and honestly couldn’t care less! There are many companies out there who expressed intrest in buying the concord fleet after BA anounced its retirement to keep them flying but Brittish Airways turned them all down for tge sake of keeping anyone else from gaining stature by flying SST.
My uncle works for BA and every day he sees the concord decaying in a cold hangar with rust trails dripping from its windows! BA would rather see it slowly die and disolve to rust than see it fit and flying in the hands of someone else! Careless dosent describe it!
Did they tell you about the profit they DIDN'T make?!
Yep, they mentioned that after 9/11 the business market for London to NYC dried up overnight which eventually finished it off
profit it didn't make...?? ..concorde made 25% of British airways total profit for 20 years straight ..without question the most profitable aircraft in aviation history, you should do your homework my friend! !!!
Steven Britton During its time in service, Concorde’s profitability figures weren’t released by BA but it is understood that the service wasn’t a profitable enterprise. Fuel costs were significant and other incidents, such as the Paris crash, caused consumers to lose confidence in the aircraft. After the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001, passenger rates fell to less than 50%
