  Back when Concorde was being built I worked in the production control office of an American company who supplied a lot of the precision made electrical components for this aircraft. I remember that whenever we received an order marked "Concorde" it was given top priority and if any delays were anticipated our MD would personally come to our office to find out what that delay was and he would personally make sure the parts needed were there in time. At that time I just knew it was a new aircraft being built and it wasn't until some years later when she was launched that I really apreciated what the fuss had been about.
  I remember feeling very proud on seeing her take off for the first time, knowing that I had (in an extremely small way!) contributed to such a beautiful aircraft taking to the skies.
  
  Sad that she's no longer in service.
