Not just a rumour. On the final flight in one of the aircraft, a flight engineer placed his cap in between his instrument panel and the cockpit partition at 60,000 feet with 2 or 3 inches to spare - upon landing, it is now completely squashed between them.

"As viewers to my movie will know, in the Old Bailey, leather envelopes full of luxury items were described as my "seduction packs" - they were simply the giveaway Concorde envelopes full of leather diaries, silver pens and other goodies given free to all passengers.
Every trip I took half a dozen with me. I've collected hundreds."
JK, they would probably go for a bomb on eBay these days!

I wouldn't consider Murdoch to be the cream of society more like the dregs of society. Also It wouldn't be that much of a compliment to say that your column was the best part of the sun, as it is full of lies, poor writing, inaccuracies and crap puns. I particularly hate those mock-up photos where they place a picture of a turnip or something on Graham Taylor's (or other celebs) head as if it was some great technical feat. I fear for Britain that this is the best selling newspaper in Britain.

Rumour had it that when reaching top speed the interior walls would warm up and special carpet was installed that stretched 1-2cm with the fuselage.
