Concorde - The World's Greatest Airliner (2002)

The producers were given unrivalled access by British Airways to shoot this programme, which features the aircraft's day-to-day operations as well as exotic international charters. BA gave unrivalled access to the flight deck allowing filming of flights and a number of take offs and landings in various conditions and locations including Barbados, Jordan, Egypt, Ireland and Lapland, all on one of Concorde's last trip out of the UK on non-scheduled services.

The DVD also looks at the aircraft's role post the tragic accident in Paris in the Summer of 2000. As well as reporting on the immediate aftermath of the crash there is also footage of the last domestic charter flights to such far-flung and diverse destinations as Fiji, Bangkok, Nairobi, Aqaba and Venice.

Following the Paris tragedy, the video takes you behind the scenes with BA and Air France to see the modifications taking place in a bid to get Concorde back into the air again. Following re-certification, you can see the first test flights right through to her return to service in 2001.

Special features on the DVD include a technical walk round the aircraft with Captain Mike Bannister explaining what makes Concorde so unique, a close up examination of the flight deck including more recent modifications. A special selection of landings and take offs from the cockpit and ground are also included.

This DVD is a MUST for anyone interested in Concorde!
