 Actually, although they are beautiful photos I believe they were taken on a
flight she did with the RAF Red Arrows around 1996 to celebrate twenty years
of Concorde flights.

The last 3 (official) flights were in October (24th?) all landing at
Heathrow around 4pm. There were a few more flights later to deliver the six
remaining aeroplanes to their museums.

A great shame, but the crash in Paris followed two years later by the events
of 9/11 were blows from which the powers that be deemed commercial recovery
impossible.
