That is all from BBC News At Six, I will be back with more from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Edinburgh Good evening and welcome to BBC | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
Points West on the 10th anniversary of the final Concorde landing. Our | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
headlines on a special programme tonight: Does Concorde deserve | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
better than this? The fastest passenger plane ever built faces | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
another winter open to the elements. How they've done it elsewhere. We | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
look at the fate of the other Concordes. And where were you when | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
the supersonic aircraft made its lap of honour before retirement. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
We'll be talking to the captain of that last flight, live in the | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
studio. And tonight's other headlines. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
After the death of this Swindon man, a coroner calls for the Home | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Secretary to ban the drug, AMT. Plus ` the criminal given the choice | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
to pay back ?2 million or go to jail for another five years. | :00:56. | :01:07. | |
Good evening. First tonight ` A coroner is to write to the | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
government asking for a ban on a drug sold openly on the internet and | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
in shops across the country. It's perfectly legal and is known as AMT. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
But today it was linked to the death of a 23`year`old Swindon man. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Christopher Scott took the tablets on a night out. Five days later he | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
was dead. Sally Challoner was at today's inquest. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Christopher Scott took two small green tablets during a night out. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Three days later he collapsed convulsing, coughing up blood and | :01:36. | :01:49. | |
then died in hospital. An inquest heard the drug he had taken his AMT, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
one of many legal highs available via the internet. The term legal | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
high is very misleading. You presume it has been tested and it is fine to | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
use. That is the misconception that it is an OK thing. The coroner will | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
write to the Home Secretary with his concerns about this and another | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
death involving AMT. She has such days to reply. He says if he does | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
not consider banning this drug, he will want to know why. Last year | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
there was 52 deaths linked to legal highs. Christopher's dad had this | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
warning for others taking them. Just don't do it. I understand you want | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
to have a good time when you go out. Have a few beers with your mates but | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
his legal highs are not worth the risk, it is like playing Russian | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
roulette. On Thursday Christopher's family will meet their local MP and | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Tokyo it is for a ban will soon be unstoppable. `` and Hall the | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
impetus. A Chinese businessman has been given | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
six months to pay back nearly ?2 million or go to jail for five more | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
years. Anthony Ho, who was previously convicted of fraudulent | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
trading, paid just ?1,000 in income tax on his empire worth around ?370 | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
million. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Steve Brodie, reports | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
from Bristol Crown Court. Anthony Ho arriving at the beginning | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of this proceeds of crime hearing having already served eight months | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
in jail after pleading guilty to fraudulent trading. His money | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
bureau, World Travel Service Ltd, in London's China Town was used by | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Chinese ex`pats to send millions of pounds back home from the UK. Judge | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Martin Picton didn't believe Anthony Ho when he said he only had assets | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
of ?650,000. Instead The judge ruled that Ho had hidden assets of ?1.9 | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
million. He gave him six months to pay up otherwise he will go to | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
prison for a further five years. The court had already decided that Ho ` | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
previously known as Jia Jun He ` had made more than ?5 million from his | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
?368 million operation. The financial investigators have | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
conducted a detailed investigation and and covered that Anthony Ho | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
under Bentley Continental motor vehicle which is very expensive. Ho | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
who also had businesses in Gloucestershire, was convicted in | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
Hong Kong in 2008, for money laundering and had been fined a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
quarter of a million ponds. The judge commented" A simply vast | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
amount of cash has passed through his hands and has gone abroad." The | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
judge added" I am quite sure that some of the money would have stuck | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
and would have been spirited out of the UK's jurisdiction". If Mr Ho | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
doesn't pay back the money in six months, he'll be back in prison by | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
May. The mayor of Bristol will come face | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
to face with his critics at a public meeting this evening, over the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
city's biggest`ever programme of cuts. George Ferguson says the | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
council must save ?90 million over the next three years. He plans to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
raise taxes, and public toilets and some libraries could close. About | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
now the mayor and several senior councillors are beginning a budget | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
question time at Henbury School. We'll have more on this at ten. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
A legal challenge to the government's cull of badgers in | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Gloucestershire has begun. Lawyers acting for the Queen guitarist and | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
animal`rights campaigner Brian May today lodged papers at the High | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
Court. They're objecting to the decision to grant an eight`week | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
extension to the cull, which is meant to help tackle bovine TB. | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
They're hoping for a court hearing within days. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Campaigners fighting a proposal to dump asbestos in a quarry in North | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
East Somerset are celebrating this evening, after a planning inquiry | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
ruled it shouldn't be allowed. Members of the Stowey Sutton Action | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Group say they're delighted by the decision. The inspector agreed it | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
could risk contaminating the nearby Chew Valley Lake reservoir. The | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
quarry owners have declined to comment. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
It's derby night in football with Cheltenham Town hosting Bristol | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Rovers. Both sides have been struggling in League Two this | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
season. Alistair Durden is at Whaddon Road this evening. | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
Pre`season expectations for both the sides to be challenging for | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
promotion. Cheltenham have made the play`offs in the last two years and | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Bristol Rovers finished the last season very well, but here we are at | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
the end of November and they are quite far down league two. Also | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
shown signs of improving recently. We have had one defeat in six so | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
there's no point in me getting upset and transferring that to the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
players. That would not be positive for tomorrow. We know there is | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
enough experience in the group of players to come away with the Vic | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
today. Let's talk to the Cheltenham town chairman. You have had high | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
standards in recent seasons, there is room for improvement this | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
season? There is room for improvement. We are chasing | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
promotion. I think the players have been fantastic. It is difficult | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
year`on`year to exceed what we have done previously. With our budget, we | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
do amazingly well. In comparison with Bristol Rovers to a massive | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
side with the huge desertion. We looking forward to meeting John and | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
we welcome him back. And they played tonight, Derby, important is that? | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
It is really important. We aspire to be as big as Ben. There are plans | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
for their new stadium just blow me away. `` be as big as Ben. We know | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
they are having a tough season. It should be a good atmosphere and a | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
good game. Thanks very much. Bristol city are at home to Leeds and orient | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
and Swindon are we to Crawley. It is chilly tonight, so if you do not | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
plan to come out, your local radio will keep you in touch with the | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
common Terry. Now for a Concorde special. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Ten years ago today ` the West Country came to a standstill as tens | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
of thousands turned out to witness the last ever flight of Concorde. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
She flew in a lap of honour over Bristol ` the city that created the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
finest, most advanced passenger plane that the world had ever seen | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The Concorde story is still thrilling ` a battle against all the | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
odds to create a plane that could travel faster than a bullet in | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
complete luxury. But after a decade on the ground ` Filton's Concorde is | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
still without a proper resting place. Concorde was the supersonic | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
icon of the sixties that captured the hearts of millions world wide. | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
I've been looking back on her history. The year was 1969 ` | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
Concorde soared off the runway in Filton into a brave new world of | :09:00. | :09:17. | |
supersonic travel.. . She is airborne. A few months later the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Americans put a man on the moon. A small step for man, a giant leap for | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
mankind. President Nixon said the heavens had become part of our | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
world.... And yet of the two ` Concorde was arguably the more | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
difficult aeronautical challenge. Yes ` Houston had problems ` but | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
Filton's were even more profound... Ted Talbot at home in Portishead ` | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
in the Concorde years he virtually lived in the plane's design office ` | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
he re`calls how their problem solving astonished the world. The | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Russians had a go at it, we met them and talk to them about it. They said | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
they admired what we had done. We then met the Americans. They were | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
quite surprised that we have got that far anyway because they started | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
with first supersonic aircraft. They got as far as wooden mock`up. He | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
gave up after that. But we didn't do it alone ` it was a deal with the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
French that ensured Concorde flew. Engineers in Bristol learnt French ` | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
the French came and lived here in an extraordinary period of industrial | :10:37. | :10:53. | |
co`operation. It was all down to ourselves and French. Once we have | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
got used to working together and trusting one another, then it went | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
along quite well. But while we worked with our old foes, our old | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
friends in America ` were trying hard to keep supersonic transport ` | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
called SST ` out. Excessive fuel consumption would put a major drain | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
on fuel reserves all over the world. The irony of being lectured on gas | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
guzzling by the Americans ` was not lost on Europe ` but they had a | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
point. Concorde could only do 15 miles a gallon per passenger mile. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Other slower planes did 30. It could only make a profit on the lucrative | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
London to New York route much favoured by the rich and famous. But | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
then bad luck and world events combined in a deadly sequence which | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
even Concorde could not survive. An Air France plane hit some debris on | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
take off and caught fire in Paris. Then the 9/11 attacks killed many of | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Concorde's customers who worked in the Twin Towers. Suddenly flying was | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
no longer glamorous ` even in Concorde. And so ten yeara ago today | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
` we all assembled at Filton to pay our final respects as Concorde flew | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
proudly over the west for one last time. And even now as she stands | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
sadly on the runway` she remains the most beautiful, speedy and advanced | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
passenger plane in history. There were ten Concordes built at Filton. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Since they were grounded a decade ago ` most are on display around | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Britain and across the world. The prototype is at Yeovilton. Two are | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
in museums in Cambridgeshire and Edinburgh. Another is in a specially | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
created hangar at Manchester Airport. Three more are on show in | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
New York, Seattle and Barbados. But at Heathrow ` she's a bit of a | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
lonely sight standing close to the runways. And here in the West ` This | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
is Concorde 216 today. Despite hopes she might be centre stage in a | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
specially built museum by now ` ten years on, she's still on tarmac at | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Filton Airfield. In need of a clean, but still majestic. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
The first place in the country to make Concorde the main attraction | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
was Brooklands Museum in Surrey. So what lessons can Bristol learn from | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
there? Scott Ellis has been to find out. Here's the real thing at | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
Brooklands. They have one and one third Concordes. This is the smaller | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
one. You might recognise it, it was on the roundabout at Heathrow The | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
first Concorde to go on permanent display in the UK. For years. That | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
was 2006. And it's still pulling in the punters. It's been phenomenal, | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
we have had more than 40,000 people on it. Compared with last year, 37. | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
I hope we will get to 45,000 by the end of the year. It's been a success | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
because Brooklands ` unlike Bristol ` had an established aircraft and | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
motor museum. Concorde added to the mix. It has history here too. The | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
famous nose cones were made here in Weybridge ` prior to assembly in | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
Filton. But Brooklands relies on volunteers ` like these former | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Concorde engineers. Out even in the winter cold ` to stop her from | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
rotting. It is the camaraderie, it is keeping the aeroplane going. It | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
is continuing the Concorde process. 27 years on it as a licensed | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
engineer and we miss that, we still miss it. Brooklands has one other | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
major draw. It has Filton's flight simulator ` one of only two in the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
world. You can fly Concorde ` alongside Concorde pilots ` again | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
working voluntarily. Pilots who decades ago spent 80 hours in here | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
at Filton ` to see if they made the supersonic grade. It was very | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
gruelling. We had to do lots of work. Ground school was six weeks, | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
then we had five weeks in the area. They went through all the emergency | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
checklists, people did feel. There was pressure. We flew Concorde up | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
the Severn estuary. Popped under both suspension bridges. Before | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
touching down at Filton. If only. This father and son had a go. They | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
watched Concorde land at Filton ten years ago. And can't beleive it's | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
shut. When you drive past on the M5, it is a little bit sad to see it in | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
the rain. It would be nice to have a nice museum for it. Bristol's | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Concorde team's been to Brooklands to learn from their success. It's | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
about reliving the Concorde dream ` but she needs volunteers and other | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
attractions around her. Hopefully it won't be another ten years before | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Filton unveils its Concorde to the public. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
For ten years the Bristol Aero Collection Trust has been | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
campaigning for a new aerospace centre to be built at Filton ` which | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
would house Concorde. But will this this ever be a reality? Joining us | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
now is their Chairman, Iain Gray ` who was the former Managing Director | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
of Airbus. How close is Bristol to getting a Concorde museum? We will | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
get a centre. We have not been doing nothing for the last ten years. The | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
aircraft is well looked after, it is the pride of us still. I have been | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
campaigning for a new home for it. We have had a number of announcement | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
and we are going to establish a new Bristol aid is space Centre on the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
northside the runway. It will open to the public at the end of 2016. | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
What condition is a plain and, it has been tinny elements for ten | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
years? I have been out there today and we have a number of visitors | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
celebrating the 10th anniversary. We walked up and down the aircraft, it | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
needs cleaning, but structurally it is very sound. The aircraft we have | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
at Filton is unique. It is the last Concorde to fly and the last one to | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
be built. It was the last one to be built at Filton. It is a great | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
design icon. It is a beautiful plain, no doubt about that. What | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
sort of experience are you planning for people? From my perspective, it | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
is a design icon so we need something which shows off its | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
qualities. Bristol is not just about Concorde so we will establish a new | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Bristol Aerospace Centre. It'll have a of refurbished buildings which | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
houses the old part of the collection. Then there will have a | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
brand`new building to house Concorde. It will be a visitor | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
attraction, where we project onto the aircraft itself some of the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
engineering features. It will give visitors the feeling of what it was | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
like to fly in Concorde. It will be something we are very proud of. | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
Lovely, what is the date again? End of 2016. Open to the public in | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
spring 2017. I hope we are invited and our viewers as well. It will be | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
a great event. Everyone is invited. So should be very proud of Concorde | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
and of the new centre. Thank you very much indeed. | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Concorde will always have a unique place in the history of aviation | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
here in the West. But why did it take the world by storm? Jheni Osman | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
is a science expert. We asked her to look at the technology of this plane | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
and explain why it was so advanced. The science of Concorde was utterly | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
revolutionary. Unlike any commercial plane before or since, because it | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
was supersonic. It flew at twice the speed of sound. It was like the | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
worlds fastest road car ` the Bugatti Veron ` coming onto the | :19:18. | :19:30. | |
market alongside a ford mondeo. Concorde breaking the sound barrier | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
was like punching through a brick wall and that required totally new | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
wings, components and above all new engines. Airbus shots Much was | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
designed at Filton now the home of airbus where I met one of the | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
country's leading Concorde experts. JO: So why were Concorde's engines | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
so revolutionary? They're revolutionary because of the job | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
they had to do ` you needed a lot of power for take off and going through | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
the sound barrier. Then once through the sound barrier, Concorde could do | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
something that no other plane could do ` you turn the afterburners off | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
and the plane would continue to accelerate up to Mach two and | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
beyond. That sort of speed demanded everything about the plane be | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
streamlined. They had to cope with the huge heat generated. They also | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
had to balance the plane by pumping fuel from one end of the aircraft to | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
the other because it became nose heavy at high speeds. Concorde was | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
famous for its sonic boom. That's the shock wave caused when you break | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
the sound barrier. To see one ` I went to the wind tunel of | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
aerodynamics expert Raf Theunissen at the University of Bristol. The | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
shock wave travels down towards the ground, and when it passes that | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
change in pressure due to the shock wave that is the sonic boom that | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
people hear. Can we see or emulate a sonic boom in the lab. Yes we can. | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
We wont hear it but we can see the shocks at least which create the | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
sonic boom. Concorde's sonic boom contributed to its downfall. So the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
big question now, will another supersonic passenger plane ever fly? | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
Sir Richard Branson thinks so. He's funding the Virgin Galactic | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
programme to take passengers into space and wants to develop | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
concorde's successor. I spoke to him at his luxury home in the Virgin | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
Islands. I am absolutely determined that I see London and is simply | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
within a couple of hours of my lifetime. The engineers believe they | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
can make it possible. We may be talking ahead of ourselves but we | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
will give it our best shot, I is. Branson may believe it's | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
technologically possible ` and so do I. But Airbus is a great example of | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
how all the money is being pumped into high volume low cost passenger | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
travel. And once again supersonic flight may still be too expensive. | :21:41. | :21:54. | |
Well, one man who knows the silver bird inside out is Captain Les | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Brodie, who flew Concorde 216 into Filton on her final flight from | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Heathrow ten years ago today. Captain Brodie, thanks for joining | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
us. Do you think we will see a supersonic passenger plane again? I | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
hope so. I think there will be eventually, we should not go | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
backwards, we should go forward. There are projects ahead, business | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
jets in the pipeline. Also we have got our own people, who were working | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
on a propulsion system which eventually will take us to Sydney | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
like Branson said. What do you feel about Concorde still being on the | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
tarmac at Filton ten years on? I felt very sad that it came out of | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
service. There was loss of life left in the aircraft. But the economy was | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
bad at the time, the Iraqi war, it was a bad time for supersonic | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
travel. It was bad luck Kindertransport yes, it was. I saw | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
her when she was flown into Filton, she was in perfect condition. We | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
grounded jet which was almost as good as new. It is felt that way and | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
it was that way. The aircraft did have a lot of life left in it but | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
unfortunately the economy stop the progress. You do have wonderful | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
stories of flights around the world. Yes, on Concorde we always had | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
celebrities. We met lots of pop stars and film stars. My favourite | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
was Princess Diana. What a lovely lady she was. She had a great sense | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
of humour. I was lined up outside the court `` toilet with her. She | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
was sitting on the front row. We had three toilets. One in the front and | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
two midships. Everyone was using the front toilet! She said they must all | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
have cystitis. And send you had an experience with Gwyneth Paltrow, you | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
had to tell your wife about it? She was younger lady and came up to a | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
landing. She was in the jump seat. Before 9/11 we could have people on | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
the flight deck. She was so excited she put her hands shall drip as we | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
came into lines which made a bit tricky for me to do that `` to do | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
the landing. Thank you very much for coming in. Now the look of the | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
weather. The set cabin doors to manual because we're going outside. | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
Thank you very much. I'm sure all claim others like myself enjoyed | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
that. I remember when the Concorde lost its flight rudder and one time. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Until then her safety record was exemplary. Let me show you some | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
graphics. This photo was taken this morning. It was close to the runway | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
that Filton `` at Filton Matt Concorde came in on for its last | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
flight. It shows nicely how we have an insertion. Temperatures at 1800 | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
feet were three degrees above freezing. This conversion allies | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
that plume of industrial steam which you can see to be capped off at that | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
level. It gives a visual clue if you're driving up the M5 what the | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
weather conditions are like. Tomorrow, thanks to another | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
inversion we will have a lot of low cloud, some drizzle in the morning | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
for some of you. The rest of the day will be drive. It will feel cold. | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
Temperatures will be up on today. High`pressure out towards the west | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
of us again. This week front sweeping southwards. Some mild ear | :26:12. | :26:23. | |
and a bit of drizzle about. Closed to new ring into Thursday. | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
Temperatures dropping away tonight markedly. They will be stopped as | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
the low cloud starts to become more prevalent. More drizzle and light | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
rain, mostly towards the east. Fog on the hills. Temperatures will be | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
at their lowest of two degrees. Not as cold as last night but a cold | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
start tomorrow. The early damp weather clears the way towards the | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
south`east. A little hint of things brightening up. Some exceptions | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
towards Portlock. I would not hold your breath. A grey day throughout | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
the day. The winds will be light. No wind to add. It will feel quite cold | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
in the sunshine. Thank you very much for that. That's | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
where we leave it Thank you very much for that. That's | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
where we leave tonight on the 10th anniversary of the final flight of | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Concorde. It has been underground Fred decade, but there is still | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
nothing to beat it. Throughout the West Country, Concorde remains a | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
beacon of pride and excellence. If you want to see more of our footage | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
tonight, have a look on Facebook page. That's it from us. Goodbye. | :27:46. | :27:48. |
