I flew into Heathrow last week and was saddened by the lack of a Concorde sighting. When I was last there (2004), the Concorde fleet had already been grounded, but I still saw a few parked on the tarmac. I was lucky enough to see one taxi and takeoff on a previous trip to London in the 80s.
Booking a trans-Atlantic crossing on the Concorde was on my bucket list -- guess I'll never realize that dream now unless another SST is ever developed.
