I've watched many videos of John Hutchinson recalling his memories. They're so interesting, I'll never tire of watching them.....

Such a brilliant person with the unique british humour.

Love your channel! John Hutchinson seems like such a gentleman. Absolute legend.

I have Bing watched/listened to every video with Mr. Hutchinson. He can tell some great stories. Shackleton, 707,747,VC10, and Concorde. Oh and let's not forget Spitfire. He has to be one of the best interviewees you have had. 🇬🇧

As a recreational Pilot, HIGHEST!! RESPECT to you John, you are one of only a few on this PLANET to have ever flown these REAL QUEENS of the skies and acquiring the pleasure to do so. Thank you so much for this Video, Its a real eye opener to how MUCH thought has gone into the design & production of these things. Cheers.

What a great tour by a real gentleman. You can really feel his passion for this great plane. Great job!

This is a proper cockpit! No poncy rubbish here!

What a wonderful gentleman. So we’ll described and you hear the passion in which he exudes talking about this wonderful aircraft. So sad it’s not flying any longer. Beautiful aircraft.

Fantastic veteran pilot of this unique machine. Thanks for the tour Cptn John!!

That was so interesting and I’m not a pilot, just someone who developed an interest in aviation. One or two of the instruments I didn’t know what they were, but it didn’t spoil the enjoyment of seeing the inside of Concorde. John looked disappointed the throttles wouldn’t move - I got the impression he would have loved to take it for a spin!

The concorde was just an amazing aircraft. Absolutely fantastic, and to have an ex concorde pilot take us through the cockpit makes it even better.

Always a pleasure to listen to JH

I love listening to this man speak, what a knowledgeable, professional pilot of the most iconic plane ever to take the skies.

Always pleasure to listen the former Captain of the British Airways of Concorde John Hutchinson.

A great man and a proper gentleman who's kind enough to share his stories. Thanks John and all the best.

Met John a few years ago. Fantastic chap

I used to be in the Red Devils Freefall team. We had 2 Concorde pilots who used to fly our pokey old Islander for us to display out of. Mike Bannister and Roger Mills. great blokes, great pilots.

What fascinates me is how fast we went from the Wright Brothers to mach 2. Fast enough that someone living an average lifespan could have witnessed all of it happen.

Being that I have not yet watched the full video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this abridged version with this gentleman sharing his experience inside the cockpit of a true legend of civil aviation. As always, another great video.

I wish he did narration, I could listen to him all day

Phenomenal!!.

Wonderful stuff, this was the cockpit layout that today's planes rely on, love the analogue dials associated with this cockpit, true words at the start from John, a gentleman and accomplished pilot, thanks for a great upload really enjoyed the rationale behind the flight engineering on Concorde.

Alleluia Mr Hutchinson! I can only endorse your opening sentiments regarding tube display instruments let alone side sticks.Air travel has gone to the dogs.

A "PROPPAH" FLIGHT DECK...love it..this bloke just DRIPS with "British-ness", LOL! He's right out of "central casting" for someone who should be briefing "007", on the technical aspects for his next mission, while "Q" is on Holiday, in the next Bond film!!

«And there we have the Mach-meter….» 😂😂😂 Like it was fuel indicator….😅

I had a 'Concorde flight deck' jigsaw puzzle when I was young (Late 60's early 70's I'm guessing). Wish I still had it, it seemed so hard at the time :)

@borninjordan7448

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I had one too.

Interesting fact. John Hutchinson was a very young acting flight officer on BOAC Flight 712. Although that flight resulted in the loss of five lives and a Posthumous George Cross, the crew performed very well indeed, successfully bringing a burning 707 with a raging wing fire and minus an engine back to earth. It burned up on the ground, causing the fatalities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOAC_Flight_712#/media/File:G-ARWE-1.jpg

And also, these are proper opening remarks.

I knew Johnnie Walker, Concorde Test Pilot and Alan Heywood, Flight Test Engineer in the early 70's and often toured around 'Old Smokey' prototype at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire airfield with Alan, including sitting in the cockpit, seeing the then gigantic onboard computers inside the fuselage, the wing inspection panels open and dripping Avgas into 45 gallon drums previously filled Swarfega hand cleaner. It is said Alan once took his yellow labrador Ben onboard at Mach 2 setting an unofficial World record for the fastest dog! A one off incident occurred after a Concorde prototype tail was extended to prevent a serious shudder at Mach 1+. The new tail section, fabricated at Filton, near Bristol, was fitted inside the usual RAF Fairford, hangar. A subsequent test flight saw the tug connected to the nose gear and the driver, who had performed this action many times, just drove ahead without thinking about the extended tail section and promptly sheared it off on the upper vertical hangar wall section. "Millions of £'s" worth of damage occurred. Needless to say the hangar section was rapidly cut away by way of a slot to accommodate the higher tail section. The tug driver was never heard of again or even seen in 'The Bull' public house nearby where he was a regular. The incident was never reported in the Press as one can imagine the then Minister for Aerospace Michael Heseltine would have had a very red face in Parliament with awkward questions from the Labour bench opposite! Alan commented in those early days that the fuel tanks were vunerable from being punctured by debris but it went passed the boffins as nobody wanted to add anymore weight...... something in years to come, would result in the Paris crash and sadly contribute to bringing an end to a fabulous chapter of supersonic passenger aircraft designed and built in the UK and France, against all technical and financial barriers. Johnnie Walker, as his name implied a certain brand of amber liquid in a square bottle, was routinely teased as being a paid promoter of the brand just because he had the same signature embroidered on his dressing gown. Johnnie always took it in his relaxed and gentlemanly stride. Both men were regulars at 'The Mill' public house at Withington, Gloucestershire and resided in the village. Unfortunately these pioneers along with chief test pilot, Brian Trubshaw and many others who worked on the oroject are no more. All were legends and courageous in their own right, as is still, ex-BA Concorde Captain John Hutchinson, for his wonderful KZread videos and classic narrations, such as "3-2-1 NOW" as full engine throttles were applied on Concorde take off rolls. A long and happy retirement to Captain Hutchinson.

I'm sure johns blood type is Concorde+ great vid. Would like to know how the aircraft stretched without breaching the bulk head.

GANG BAR. LOVE IT!

Not a failed engineering project. It showed supersonic transport flight was possible and it remained in service for 27 years. It might not have sold to many airlines (only 2) but Concorde was an engineering and technological success.
