Captain John Tye takes us behind the scenes to learn what it was like to fly the world’s only successful supersonic airliner.

John was one of only 134 pilots to fly Concorde for British Airways in the whole 27 years the aircraft was in service. He’ll explain some of the unique technical features of Concorde. A few ‘celebrity stories’ and family involvement bring in the human element, before touching briefly upon the tragic accident in Paris in the summer of 2000 and the eventual retirement of Concorde in 2003.

Visitors are very welcome – £5.00 per head.
