| The Signatories |
| Captain Peter Sinclair Peter joined the Concorde Fleet as a Senior First Officer in 1991, flying the scheduled Services to New York, Washington and seasonally to Barbados. Atlantic Crossings took 3 hours and 25 minutes at Mach 2.00, 1,350 mph, up to an altitude of 60,000 feet. Special Flights included the popular "Round the Bays", achieving Mach 2.00 and climbing to 54,000 feet all in 1 hour and 30 minutes. |
| Captain Les Brodie Les first joined the Concorde Fleet as a co-pilot before gaining his command on the Boeing 777, re-joining the Concorde Fleet as Captain and Training Manager. Les was the last pilot to fly Concorde when he landed Concorde GBOAF at Filton Bristol on the 26th November 2003. His favourite memory of flying Concorde was to see the sun 'rise' in the West when heading towards New York having departed London in the dark. |
