Twice the Speed of Sound, a Memory for a Lifetime
Speaker: Tony Crossin

Can you imagine crossing the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound, flying at 60,000 feet on the edge of space?

Concorde was more than an aircraft. It was an engineering marvel, a symbol of luxury and one of the most remarkable achievements in aviation history.

Our guest speaker, Tony Crossin, experienced this legendary aircraft firsthand, flying aboard Concorde 19 times between London and New York at speeds of around 2,600 km/h.

On one unforgettable journey, he spent the entire flight in the cockpit, experiencing supersonic travel from a perspective few passengers ever enjoyed.

Drawing on his remarkable career with British Airways, Tony will take us behind the scenes of an extraordinary era in aviation.

He'll share:
• What it was like to fly at twice the speed of sound, 60,000 feet above the Atlantic
• The luxury, service and special touches that made Concorde so memorable
• His personal experiences, including an unforgettable journey in the cockpit
• The tragedy, retirement and lasting legacy of this aviation icon
