Oliver Gottstein from https://t.co/VSpFRCeaeZ exclusive interview with @flyfinn1 the man who made aviation history! Talking also about his book “Sonic Boom”, his 718 times on board of the Concorde, co-founding https://t.co/2H8cV8N8Gx and much more! Enjoy!
We are sad to learn that Michel Rétif passed away yesterday aged 101. He was the last surviving flight crew member of #Concorde's maiden flight in 1969.
He is third from the left in the photograph below.
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his family and former colleagues.
I’m thrilled to be having my inaugural book launch at the Speedbird Centre in @British_Airways Head Office at Waterside, @HeathrowAirport today! It feels so special to be here given how much of my 15 million miles to date were with BA and particularly my 718 flights on #Concorde.
We are so delighted for Fred!
Congratulations @flyfinn1 on this momentous occasion of what surely promises to be an amazing story!
We’re proud to know you!
FINN....ally!
I cannot tell you all how much it means to finally have my book in my hands once and for all.
Head over to my website to get yours now https://t.co/41kPy5WpJK

It’s 20 years this month since our Chairman joined SCG and began working with #Concorde
From communicating with @richardbranson to becoming great friends with @flyfinn1 - it’s been an incredible journey so far!
Ben Lord’s ‘love affair’ with Concorde took off 25 years ago when he was a child and, despite the retirement of the aircraft, his passion has not wavered.

We’ve only been waiting for 12 years from a reply from @British_Airways to our proposal for Alpha Bravo to have a permanent parking spot that’s befitting for Concorde much like the @airfrance#Concorde at @ParisAeroport
In all the years I’ve flown out of @HeathrowAirport this is the closest I’ve come to @British_Airways#Concorde G-BOAB “Alpha Bravo” that last flew on 15 August 2000 and has remained parked up airside at Heathrow ever since.
Here’s hoping she gets a proper parking spot one day!
We’ve had the most incredible few days in #NewYork chasing @British_Airways#Concorde as she made her way up the Hudson River on Thursday morning!
Thank you so much to @IntrepidMuseum for the kind invitation and warm hospitality! We can’t wait to visit Alpha Delta again soon!
We’ve had a busy couple of days literally chasing #Concorde in #NewYorkCity as she returns home to @IntrepidMuseum following months of painstakingly meticulous paintwork restoration!
What an epically beautiful spring day!
Yesterday, I had the 'once-in-a-lifetime' chance to snap @British_Airways#Concorde G-BOAD "Alpha-Delta" as she began her journey back home to the @IntrepidMuseum following months of restoration.
Just incredible!

@cruising4hols@benlorduk@bdosconcorde@gaiabarbados@flyfinn1@British_Airways Good to be back in touch Andy! Hadn’t realised it was you! Team is pretty much just me nowadays but I work collaboratively with Heritage Concorde and work closely with Fred too as you may have gathered!
Hope all’s well with you.
We first met Oliver in 2005 and had the privilege of being in his company during the Summer of 2010 when we were supporting Concorde at Filton with our SOS: Save Our Speedbird campaign.
His contribution to Concorde’s heritage is beyond measure.
RIP

@neilrobinson_88@British_Airways@airfrance@richardbranson We did - and it gained fantastic support from a cross spectrum of supporters. But in the end, after 15 years, it became clear that we couldn’t fight the politics grounding this wonderful airplane.
20 years ago today, @British_Airways and @airfrance simultaneously announced they would be retiring #Concorde permanently
Air France ceased flying at the end of May 2003 and BA and on 24th October 2003.
It changed the face of aviation forever!
