Unhappy Concorde's Final Departure from the USA

I recently received the following pictures from a co-worker, taken as the Concorde made its final revenue flight from JFK, escorted by the Canadian Air Force Team. (Sorry if you all have seen them already...)

Sorry to tell you, but this is not the last revenue flight from New York. These are the RAF's Red Arrow Aerobatic Team escorting the Concorde somewhere in the UK. I believe this actually happened quite some time ago.

You're absolutely right! I hadn't been looking very closely. Not sure how I could mistake the Red Arrows for the Snow Birds. Totally different aircraft, and totally different paint schemes! Sheesh! Sometimes I wonder where my head is....
