AirACES present "Concorde - 20th Century Icon"

Concorde was, without doubt, a 20th century icon and Capt John Hutchinson will present a tribute to the remarkable technological achievement that ranks alongside the Apollo lunar landing programme – a celebration of a golden age in aviation. John Hutchinson spent 8 years in the Royal Air Force before transferring to civilian flying, joining BOAC (subsequently British Airways) in 1966, initially as a co-pilot on the Boeing 707 and 747. He gained his command on the VC10 in 1976, before being posted to the Concorde fleet in 1977. He flew Concorde until he retired from BA in 1992 with 5800 hours on Concorde, of which 3000 hours were supersonic flight.

Following retirement, John has worked as a consultant on the US High Speed Research Programme and with a number of other aeronautical organisations. He lectures all over the world and this talk should not be missed.

AirACES is an aviation talk society, providing its members with regular talks, given by experts in many different fields related to the world of aviation.
