Flown as BAW001, with Concorde G-BOAF. Gusty crosswind at KJFK resulted in heavy touchdown.

Note - "lump" in the flown route just West of Ireland caused by fat-fingering error into the Inertial Navigation units- detected when the unexpected steering started, and subsequently corrected. At 1150 kts, a 'slight' deviation ends-up being a good-way off desired track before the remedial steering, at the low bank angles in the cruise. Very difficult temperature conditions outbound ffrom UK....high temps at upper levels restricting cruise altitudes over whole Atlantic today.
