Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The definitive account of the rise and fall of the world's fastest plane from British Airways' former Chief Concorde Pilot.
October 24th, 2023 will mark 20 years since Concorde disappeared from our skies. Yet still Mike Bannister, the last Concorde Chief Pilot, faces the same questions:
- Why is she no longer flying?
- Where is her replacement?
- And what really happened on that tragic afternoon in July 2000, when the crash of Flight 4590 grounded the Concorde forever?
Concorde is an enthralling personal account of what it takes to fly planes faster than the speed of sound, and of the events that lay behind 114 needless deaths—the 113 victims of the crash and, ultimately, Concorde herself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Simply brilliant.
Thank you Mike Bannister for writing this book. You have made the Concorde story come alive through your eyes for many that didn’t have the fortune to fly it or in it.

Awesome
Excellent narration of the book, a really good story, not just about Concorde but about Mike’s life which was a really good story and history lesson for the things that happened during Concorde’s life time

For those you need all the details
Very expressively narrated by the author. Use of American pronunciation can be jarring as is the over use of irrelevant and trite phrasing.

the technical yet simply delivery made it easy to understand without being a aeronautical engineer
great listen and worth the time to remember what a great achievement the concorde was given the design was done 50 plus years ago now
