I was at a Saturday market with the GF yesterday.
On one of the stalls there was and old Airfix model of the Concord.
I commented to her, "Just think about this. In the 1960's we could fly the Atlantic in three hours, now it takes seven! Isn't progress wonderful!"
(The subsonic Atlantic record was also held by a 1960's aircraft too until really very recently (VC-10) )
