In the 80s and 90s, Concorde undertook an annual visit to the short runway at Exeter. I cant remember when these were taken, although I suspect it was the late 90s. I hope they are of some interest, negatives cleaned up as much as I can, Thanks for looking.

Beautiful, so graceful. I went to see her at Hurn Airport Bournemouth when she came to land 1996 to make the extension of the runway. Unfortunately got about one pic of a small white thing in the sky !! Wasn't quite into photography back then !

Nice pics. Easy to forget how beautiful she was and an amazing, still unsurpassed, technological marvel.
I was lucky enough to fly on G-BOAE from JFK-LHR on one of the last flights in August 2003 - 3hrs 18mins from take off to touchdown. Amazing really
