Concorde 002, British prototype of Anglo-French supersonic transport, piloted by BAC chief test pilot Brian Trubshaw, made unscheduled landing at Heathrow Airport in London during flight from Bristol, England, to demonstrate aircraft over Farnborough Air Display grounds. Bad weather on return sector of flight forced aircraft to make low approach with high power in first appearance at major international airport. (AP, B Sun, 9/14/70, A2)
