[R-390] Concord(adding a bit of "color")

[Barry Williams]

I caught one of the Speedbirds once when they were talking back to 
British Airways operations. I had a HP 3586B on the bench with a few 
feet of wire out for a test antenna. The Concorde had pulled one engine 
back for overheating, and were now below mach speed. They talked about 
how the engine would keep overheating. Great stuff.
