The Concorde remains today the most recognizable airplane, and for 27 years brought people together faster than ever before or since. They flew on the edge of space, traveling faster than a bullet, making the world a smaller place. Capt Bannister will share stories from this era and give us insights into the legacy that the Concorde has left.

As with previous events, we will have drinks and nibbles.

Details:

Date: 12 September

Time: 18:30, Discussion starts at 19:00

Venue: Mayfair. We have a change of venue that is still to be confirmed. It promises to be a fantastic backdrop for the event.

I look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks’ time.

All the best,

Philippe

I've registered for this one. Anyone up for a few beers ?

Very likely - and perhaps a curry afterwards?

Although I shall be not going along to hear tales of a most recognizable airplane.

[Iceman]

My thoughts exactly Graham, including the curry !

I'm interested: Having Stewarded on the DAS Concorde at Duxford for several years I'd be up for hearing the inside edge.

Also be up for a curry and a slight lemonade or two after.....

Might well book a room to lay me yed.

Dear All,

Good news! We have found a venue! Updated details below and on our website. The venue is sponsored by the great folks at Elite London.

The venue: Buddha-Bar, 145 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7PA. Map here.

Capt. Bannister assures me he has been working on his talking points diligently. Should be a fascinating discussion about the amazing Concorde program.

I look forward to seeing you on the 12th.

Best,

Philippe

So who will be going along tonight then? I'm in meetings in the city until 6pm, so I'll probably shuffle in about 7.

[PeteSpencer]

Nope: Can't make it despite paying my donation: Family stuff as usual.

Hope you have a good meeting.

Peter

[Iceman]

I'll be there.

It was the expected very interesting talk from Mike Bannister on the history, the operation, the accident and the finish of the Concorde programme. It was well attended. Good to catch up with Graham B and Pilot Pete and grab that curry afterwards.
