Forgot to mention on our last crazy day in the uk we managed to squeeze in a tour of the Concorde at Manchester Airport. What a beautifuly engineered craft, zooming through the air like a supersonic swan. So amazing to see up close. We all got to sit in the cockpit, this one being the first commercial concorde. Shame they stopped the service, due to 9/11...businesses refused to fly commercial and chartered jets. In it's heydey you could get a joy ride for 200 pounds, our tourguide said money well spent! Anyway a big thrill for Adam to see one up close and was pretty cool watching the regular planes take off and land too since the hanger was right next to the runways.
