Very
I'm sure I have something Concorde related, I think it's a toiletries bag or something.
My Concorde stories... I grew up in Langley, near Heathrow, on the flight path and every evening we saw Concorde taking off. Some relatives are BA cabin crew and they worked on Concorde. I was working at BA when they retired the fleet and did the take off, flight around and landing at LHR. I watched it from the roof of the BA Headquarters (Waterside) with a bunch of very emotional colleagues. My Dad was working for BAA (Heathrow Airport) and decided it was a good day to do an airside video inspection of some HVAC systems... which happened to include filming the Concorde landings from outside, airside.
I have a copy of The Concorde Story, signed by the author.
