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. |

I guarantee every flight would have been full each way.
The easiest guarantee ever given ?
