Thanks to modern technology, we can now all enjoy the beauty of the Concorde by watching each of the five parts the BBC TV documentary special presented by Noel Edmonds was split in, and uploaded to YouTube.

While not as extensive in description and depth as the ITVV 2-DVD set, it pays tribute to the most amazing passenger supersonic aircraft man has ever flown.

Here are the links, (thanks to Norman Blackburn for sharing his find):

Thanks to Lefteris and Norman for those links. Brings back happier times.

Watching that I'm reminded of the priest's final prayer as the end approached for Titanic in Cameron's film... The former world has passed away.

It seems so apt.

Cheers,
Ray.
