Description
Mike Banister Chief Concorde pilot signed 2002 Queens Concorde Buckingham Palace Formation Flypast Technical Programme. Four pages detailing the Waypoints and technical information which ensured the amazing. It was a fantastic sight with 27 Aircraft, C-17 Globemaster, and TriStar with two Tornado GA4s, E3 Sentry with two Tornado F3s, VC10 with two Jaguars, Nimrod with two Canberras, BAe 146 with two BAe125s, Eurofighter (Typhoon), and Concorde in formation with the Red Arrows. The Fly past was scheduled to be over Buckingham Palace at 17:55 but due to the scale of the events taking place had to be delayed by 30 Minutes. The Red Arrows left Stansted at 1739 to meet up with Concorde at the holding point off the Norfolk coast. After formating over the North Sea the formations pasted over the coast line at Southwold just after 6pm and headed Overhead Ipswich, Chelmsford, Fairlop Waters Country Park and north east of Ilford before flying into Central London. At 6:25PM the flypast fleet flew down the Mall then over Buckingham Palace at a height of 1,500ft and at a speed of 280Knots. The head of the fleet, including the Globemaster, Tristar and VC10 routed back to RAF Brize Norton, with the BAE146 of the Queen's flight and BAE 125s touching down at RAF Northolt. As soon as Concorde was clear to the flypast she climbed to 2,500ft, picked up the ILS localiser and arrived 5 minutes later at London Heathrow on Runway 27R. The Red Arrows returned to their Base at RAF Scampton, passing near to Hertford, St Neots, Thurlby, Corby Glen and Grantham. This was the first time Concorde has been used in its flagship role since the fleet were grounded following the Paris accident in July 2000. Before the accident around 1% of Concorde flights were in that flagship role, which have included flying the England Football and European Ryder cup teams to tournaments as well as politicians to world summits. A really nice piece of history. Good condition
