Anyone have timings - better than 'noonish' - For the biggy flying by?

Best I could get was 'noonish' for Filton.

I haven't seen any better timings, the only one i can find is the Heathrow landing time @ 13:20.

You can watch the landing live on BBC News website.

Going for 'The real thing' !! I shall be 'up the hill' watching the bu##er stagger by !!

Having watched Concorde's final homecoming .. I know of a pretty extensive viewing platform 16 Km E'ish of Filton... worth a shot and back home for the landing at HR.

10 m E of Filton, Tog Hill A420 picnic area, packed with viewers, hence the flies !...

[keyplayer]

Those flies look more like shards of titanium to me.

 

[splinter]

Neither really ... Used to work in the game...
I still say 'No greater buzz' than a visiting, state of the art fighter or SST ! Being wrung out over the airfield during one's lunchbreak on an 'everyday' day.. Besides the weekly hammering of the Spitfire was it Thurs or Friday?? Tumbling memories overhead.
Beats producing vacuum cleaners, hey?
