About the event
Fasten your seatbelt alongside ‘Captain Concorde’ Mike Bannister as he shares his unrivalled insight into the world’s only supersonic airliner – on a return trip to Graffham by popular demand.
His first visit to the village’s iconic Empire Hall in October could have sold out twice over – so this second ‘flight’ has been arranged for all those who missed out first time around.Mike knows Concorde better than anyone – from being appointed its youngest first officer shortly after it started flying in 1977 to commanding its final scheduled flight as British Airways’ Chief Concorde Pilot 26 years later.
