  • Did You Work on Concorde?
    Did you work on Concorde? The Pride of Goucestershire “Were you there on 9th April 1969?” asks Richard Chatham (left). “2019 will be the 50th anniversary of Concorde’s first flight - though work started well before that . on scraps of paper and slide rules! I know from talking to some of those early ‘Supersonic Pioneers’ that there was a very strong Masonic presence at Filton; indeed, across the whole design and manufacture crew. I am anxious to record as many names and lodges as possible. Were you one of those, or was your father, brother, or any relation involved? It would be very special to be able to collate a list of all those Freemasons and the nature of their input and maintain a record for posterity.” ‘Concorde Nut’ Richard is the Director of Ceremonies at Richard Whittington Lodge, where he is affectionately known as ‘RCDC’. It can truly be said that Concorde is a part of his life. In deed on BBC’s ‘Antiques Roadshow’ he admitted to being something of a ‘Concorde Nut’. “Here is a very small taster of my collection,” he told squaretalk, pointing to a room containing a plethora of paraphernalia, dominated by an 8 feet long exact replica which he liberated from Heathrow. Page 1 RCDC continues his tale . “Forty-eight years ago, on that April morning, the onlookers, photographers and BAC staff crowded along the runway at Filton and held their ears as the air reverberated again to the roar of those four Olympus engines. Not for the first time had this cacophony been heard, but today would be special and would be recorded in the history of flight forever.
