Nostalgia... In the 70s I lived in a London suburb that was under one of the approach paths to Heathrow, and could always tell when Concorde was passing over on final. Its sound was many decibels above a 747 and had a harsh, rock-crushing quality.

Indeed. I lived in Reading from 79-82 and remember that school essentially paused everytime that Concorde passed overhead because you couldn't hear anything that was being said in the classroom for a couple of minutes
