This event has now passed. 

For over a quarter of a century, Concorde was the world's only successful supersonic airliner, carrying passengers at speeds faster than a rifle bullet - and at heights that provided a glimpse of the edge of space.

As Chief Concorde Pilot for British Airways, Captain Mike Bannister knows her like no one else. From displaying Concorde with the Red Arrows over London to landing her back at Heathrow in her last scheduled flight in October 2003, he has seen Concorde's full journey. Now he shares the inside story of this unique and awe-inspiring aircraft for the first time, including his role in the investigation to uncover what really happened when Concorde fell to earth on 25th July 2000.

To celebrate the publication of Concorde: The thrilling account of history’s most extraordinary airliner, join Captain Mike Bannister, as he gives his account of the rise and fall of this incredible aircraft.
