Charan Kumar Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Beautiful shots...love the last one especially
Mark Wolpert Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Nice shots. I know that both the BA Concorde and the Air France Concorde made it to Hong Kong. Does anyone know the schedule or routes they were on to get there. I cannot find any regular scheduled service so have to think this was a tour of some type. thanks, Mark.
Matthias Hanel Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 It would be a nice addition to the Heathrow-Bahrain-Singapore route. From Singapore you can head directly over the sea and go up to Hong Kong.
Michael Penson Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Mark, she used to fly - London - Bahrain - Bangkok - Hong Kong, but I have no idea what the routing was. I think, if I remember correctly Concorde only flew a couple flights before her overfly permissions were pulled. She also flew one flight via Delhi, before being re-routed to Singapore.

Mark Wolpert Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks Michael, I think you are correct that the flights did not last very long before the Indian government pulled the overfly approvals. More details here. http://www.concordesst.com/history/events/sia.html regards, Mark.
