G-BOAC
Call Sign = Alpha Charlie
Pity we couldn't have one of the Concordes down here at Farnborough - Given that so much of the development work was done here.

G - BOAC call sign Shuttle or speedbird
In addition to the standard Speedbird callsign, Concorde flights added Concorde to notify Air Traffic Control of the aircraft's unique abilities and restrictions. The Flight numbers of the BA Concorde flights were 001–004; BA Concordes therefore used callsigns Speedbird Concorde 1 through Speedbird Concorde 4. With the retirement of Concorde those flight numbers are now unused. French Concordes used the standard "Air France" callsign

I flew on Concord in 97 from Liverpool Airport on a "Jolly" the day the Grand National was "Abandoned" due to the IRA scare. Fantastic. as for the registration number I will guess at G-BOAC ?
