Craig Baillie Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Perhaps I’m suggesting this to the wrong crowd; as it might not be news but: I’m currently listening to the audiobook version of Mike Bannister’s book ‘Concorde’ narrated by himself. I thought I’d jump on here to recommend it! Part autobiography of Cpt Bannister, part autobiography of the aircraft and part investigation of the incident and aftermath. It’s well told and I consider it essential reading/listening for the Concorde fans here ! Quote Link to comment
John Price Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Nice work, Craig, I have some credits to use since I bought the last Alan Partridge Oasthouse audiobook. Quote Link to comment
Daniel Jaffe Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks like it isn't on Audible anymore (or maybe never was). Too bad on that front. Quote Link to comment
Craig Baillie Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 It is in the UK at least. I’m listening to it in Audible right now (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Concorde/dp/B0B3L4TD2L/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=OWKKPI25K9K9&keywords=concorde+mike+bannister+book&qid=1674502495&sprefix=mike+bann%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1) Has it been released where you are?

John Price Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I’ve got it as well, although I’m also in the UK - I see it on amazon.com though so it shouldn’t be limited to just us. Quote Link to comment
Daniel Jaffe Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Must be a US/UK market difference. No luck on the US side. Quote Link to comment
Will Fibich Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I've just received mine- ordered it a month or so ago from Amazon. I'm in the US. Should be a good read! Quote Link to comment
Sam Kharey Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I learned a lot from this book — especially how to put safety ahead of everything else. This was crucial to Concorde ops since everything was the edge of the envelope. The book actually changed how I approached my flying in the sim… now I can’t wait to operate Concorde the way Mike and all of the elite BA/AF crews did. Sam Kharey Quote Link to comment
