Concorde model to take to the skies in honour of anniversary

"This is probably the nearest you get to see to the real thing," Mr Johnson said

People will be able to see the Concorde in flight again - in the form of an 11ft long model.

In honour of the 20th anniversary of the final flight of the Concorde into Filton, Andy Johnson will fly a model of the aircraft in Yatton.

The model is 11 foot long (3.3m) and weighs 25 lbs (11kg).

"It's probably capable of around 90mph," Mr Johnson said. "It's never going to be the same as watching the real thing.

"But this is probably the nearest you get to see the real thing."

Concorde was designed and built in Filton, in collaboration with French engineers.

On Sunday, it will be 20 years since Concorde 216 made its last flight, landing on the Filton runway on 26 November 2003.

"There's just something to the Concorde," said Mr Johnson, "The shape of it, the sound of it, the look of it in the sky - it's just really unique."

Mr Johnson will fly the model at 14:00 GMT on the field at Woodspring Wings MAC.
