TOWN Mayor John Saull raised £1500 for St Catherine’s Hospice at an evening devoted to Concorde.

John, a former member of the Civil Aviation Authority, was closely involved in certifying the iconic aircraft and its maintenance programmes.

He was joined in addressing a packed Meridian Hall, which included several local mayors and artist David Shepherd, by Concorde pilot Captain John Hutchinson sharing some anecdotes about his time on the flight deck.
