Apologies if this has been posted before but I don't recall seeing it here, This caught my eye because the flight is from EGLL to KIAD and since I live very close to KIAD I used to watch the Concorde come in to land back in the day.

Concorde; one of the few planes where they train you to slam the throttles to the stops on every takeoff.
She was a beauty of technology that sadly ended up being a dead end for many reasons, mostly not the fault of the plane itself.
