For me the sight never to be forgotten was Concorde flying
in formation with the Red Arrows for the Heathrow 50th
anniversary flypast. That was a tears in the eyes sight,
though a quick Google shows it wasn't unique:

Yes, I was at the International Air Tattoo at Fairford and have some stills
photographs of the original attempt. Apparently it was *very* difficult to
get right, a case of not being able to get the Dead Sparrows to go fast
enough and not being able to slow Concorde down enough.

Alpha Golf's departure for JFK tonight brought a few tears, as she roared
over Hatton Cross and banked round to salute Her Maj at Windsor.
