10 years ago, Concorde was decommissioned :(

He is modest about it, but Jock is part of an elite club. There are more US astronauts than there are Concorde pilots.

Jock then recalled the time he was chatting to some pilots of the super-secret American spy plane, the SR71 Blackbird.

Now, the whole point of that amazing aircraft was that it flew way beyond the reach of other planes. Faster and higher, hidden away.

But one day, these guys said that their air traffic controller told them to get out of the way because there was a Concorde coming through. They couldn't believe it.

Jock Lowe, Concorde Pilot
