  • For many years,on ...

    For many years,on the south shore,in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, you knew it was 2:35 GMT without looking at your watch. There was faint boom as Concorde had left JFK and broke Mach 1.

    A few times Concorde did precautionary landings in Halifax(CYHZ) and word spread fast she was comming in. If not fly on her,watching her land as dirty as she could be(drag wise of course) was simpily wonderful.
