Pair Romp on Bonk-Orde
By JOHN KAY

CONCORDE is going out with one helluva bang — after two passengers enjoyed a mid-air bonk on their leather seats just feet from where the airline’s boss was sitting.
The couple romped under a blanket as the 1,350mph plane cruised at 60,000ft — 11 MILES high.
A startled stewardess tipped off BA’s chief executive Rod Eddington, 53, who was sitting three rows behind the lovers. But he smiled and said: “Let them enjoy themselves!”
The Spanish couple, in their 20s, are the first to be confirmed as having sex on Concorde in the jet’s 30-year history.
A BA spokesman said: “We certainly want the last few months of Concorde to be a celebration — but this pair celebrated a bit more than we expected.
“It shows that some things in Spain do stay mainly on the plane. We only hope that the earth moved for them at twice the speed of sound.”
The drama on flight BA001 came midway into the three-and-a-half-hour trip from London to New York. The couple had flown in from Madrid to catch the plane.
It was packed with first-time Concorde trippers enjoying special £1,999 tickets to mark the jet’s looming farewell.
A fellow passenger said: “The couple tried to be discreet but the cabin crew soon knew what was going on.
