Yesterday we told you about the new LEGO Concorde, which is being released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the final commercial flight.
Reader Gareth, who works as a guide for the Concorde on display at the Runway Visitor Park in Manchester, dropped me a note about a gala dinner that is being held at the Concorde Conference Centre on Friday 27th October (the final BA flight was 24th October).
To quote:
“We would like to invite you to join us for a special exclusive Gala Dinner underneath the wings of the flagship G-BOAC to celebrate Concorde’s 20th Anniversary.
Guest speaker, former Concorde and Boeing 777 pilot John Tye, will be with us for the evening, and he will be sharing his unique memories and experiences with us.
We will also be joined by the world’s most travelled man and Concorde’s most frequent flyer Fred Finn.
Your evening will start with a drinks reception followed by a four-course meal, set under the wings of G-BOAC, live performances from the sensational soprano Gemma Ashley, and an opportunity to board the aircraft, along with a nostalgic nod of Concorde’s nose to end the evening.”
The cost is £90 per person, which seems exceptionally good value, although any drinks you have with your meal must be bought separately. Unfortunately, as it’s half term, Rhys and I will both be away and can’t attend.
You can see full details on this flyer. You can book here.
PS. In case you’re wondering, Fred Finn took 718 flights on Concorde and was on both the first and the last commercial flights.
