This small collection has been accumulated over last 40 years. There is a test pilot signed cover, A rather tatty matchbook with no matches. A London - Bahrain cover with Sterling silver medallion. A sterling silver keyring in original box and a large accumulation of various covers.   |

Great work Dave! I was never on the Concord but remember it landing in Toronto while I was at work. Everyone was at the window. A friend of mine went to a football match in Cairo on it. Wonder if ( or when) this type of supersonic passenger traffic will be back?

I was never on the Concord but remember it landing in Toronto while I was at work. The Concorde flew in to Calgary in 1977. I still remember being able to see it with the nose in its bent down position for landing. (Exercise for the reader - compare our puny 1977 skyline to the way Calgary looks today.)  Image nabbed from somewhere on the internet, I think I found it on Pinterest. Ryan |
