thank you for posting this i've been looking for footage of teh opening day for years, i was on shipley hill when concorde seemed to go past at eye level. shame no footage of the mosquito that went right over our heads at about 100ft

What's a 5 year old doing visiting a man in prison?
What ever happened to Peter Kellard? (After he went to prison)
