Old High tech.

The flight path of the Concorde from Heathrow was about 60 miles off the south coast of Nova Scotia, I live in the Annapolis Valley, about 50 miles from our south coast. On quiet Sunday mornings, around 9 AM, we would hear a faint rumble, like distant thunder and know Concorde was on time.

Last summer I met a Welsh fellow who had been an engineer working for an aerospace firm engaged in doing the flight controls for Concorde. He claimed the flight controls were "almost last minute, after they got the engines and airframe sorted."

Great people. Amazing airplane.
