And ahem back to you @shutter. I was merely saying the words that we were taught during training in the RAF, as it is their motto. I didn't say you were wrong, merely another interpretation! Jeez, people get touchy for no reason, over the slightest thing!

Yeah I know...;.  I did actually know the proper translation... but when you google it... it still comes up with a "it`s not a true verbatim translation, but "near enough"    " type of answer  😀

Concorde took off unusually steeply.  I think I've mentioned here before that one of the original Concorde pilots said "it went straight up like a homesick angel".

Did someone mention vertical ascent? 😀

Was the only aircraft of its time that could catch Concorde, but couldn't keep up with it as the 'corde was cruising supersonic, the Lightning was always at max chat. 20 minutes to empty tanks if on full reheat 😳
