The end of an era...and I was there
Okay, so it's not that bigger deal..well maybe it was, but any way I was there, or at less close. Fortunately is was a quite day at work. The weather didn't actually look to good for the landing, it was wet and dull. However this was not an entierly bad thing, as you'll she later. The skies did clear a bit as the hour approached. The first of two passes was from the Bristol side of aztec west (I don't know which direction that is). She was high at high(ish) altitude was just a silhouette, but there was no mistaking that shape. This was her out bound journey from Heathrow around the Bristol channel. Since there are no buildings that way we could she her for a some time, about a minute and a half, maybe, before becoming invisible against the dark gray sky.
Shortly after this I spotted an other familiar shape in the sky, the rounded wing tips of a spitfire. It was taken through it's aerobatic paces. From what I saw there's still life left in those old airframes!
About fifteen minutes later there she was again, this time coming from the motorway side, this time. probably about the same height as before. Again just a silhouette against a cloudy sky. The couldy sky, I think made for much more dramatic pictures that if it had been a clear day.
Then we had the final approach and landing. Obviously much closer now, you could clearly make her colours. And thanks to our position we had the best indoor view, i think. Yes the people on the roof of the Orange building did get a better view, but they had to put up with the wind and rain. We could see Concorde right up until a few moments before touchdown. One of the other buildings obscured that moment.
I didn't bring a camera to record the moment (for the very good reason that I don't have one!), but my college James did and he's very kindly let me use some of his pictures.

The first flyby (I think)

The second pass

The approach...

...and landing.
