Due to a bereavement I was unexpectedly in Torquay for the Crewe game. Travelling up to Heathrow on the 501 this morning I overheard the Exeter couple in the row in front of me referring to Concord having once landed at Exeter Airport. Can anybody confirm?

It did once that I can remember, I also recall hearing a sonic boom years ago at about seven o`clockish every evening quite a few years ago but I`m not sure if that was because Concorde had to fly down this way from further up country before going supersonic, you could hear it in the distance some where out to sea.

Yes it did and I think it was the same day it flew over Plainmoor, there are a few pictures on here somewhere I put up showing it flying low over the Bay. |

Yes it certainly did and my Dad was on it. As a treat for his 50th birthday, 20 years ago, he traveled to Heathrow by coach, flew on concorde down to the Bay of Biscay and returned and landed at Exeter.
fantastic experience he said

I remember it well because Ian Stirling and Gus Honeybun were there too!

I´m amazed at the wealth of information available on this website! this post has already attracted more interest than my recent post on sbk weedkiller which I deleted due to lack of replies!
