On Tuesday, near the west Berkshire village of Bucklebury, the bodies of Tony Meadows and his wife Paula were found dead at their residence.
Though not looking for anyone in connection with the deaths of the former pilot and his wife, Thames Valley Police has launched a murder investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Howard, however, has said there is no danger to the public and has tagged the incident “tragic.”
He also added that “We are aware that Bucklebury is a small community and this will have an impact on its residents (and) as such people will see an increased police presence.”
During Concorde’s first passenger flight from Heathrow to New York in 1977, Mr Meadows was part of the crew. He previously told the BBC in an interview for Points West that he had flown Concorde for 14 years. He also said that one of his proudest moments was flying the queen to Bahrain in 1979.
“They can’t understand it. They haven’t been able to get their minds around it really. Paula had dementia se she hadn’t been well for quite a while, but Tony always took care of her and looked after her very well, and took her for walks. He was a very caring person, very friendly,” a woman who didn’t want to be named said in an interview.
