Just received my copy of "Concorde New Shape in the Sky".
Ex library copy. Big stamp on Contents page saying "Smithsonian Libraries"! Looking forward to a nice, long read! Thanks for stoking the addiction everyone here. -Gary Subjects: None No recorded likes for this post (could be before pprune supported 'likes').Reply to this quoting this original post.

Incident - Christchurch NZ
I was speaking today to an aircraft engineer who had been working at Christchurch airport in NZ when Concorde visited.
He recalls Concorde suffering damage on the ground and a repair having to be made to a wing skin. Anybody have any details about this incident?

This totally corroborates the account given to me. Didn't realise that the rudder problem was caused by the same phenomenon. Who would have thunk it!

Thanks for the clarification BP and for your many informative and fascinating
replies enlightening all of us on this incredible and unique aircraft. I didn't think a simple question about an APU would take off into a delightfully detailed account of Concorde's technical achievements and even better, personal accounts of operating her 'on the line' Thank you, I feel fortunate that I asked ! Best wishes

I'm on a mac so I can print pdf directly from the print dialogue box. Brilliant suggestion from both you and standbykid.

How many commercial flights did the fleet of Concordes actually make before they were sadly decommisssioned?
