About This Item
Filton/Bristol: British Airways, 1970. Softcover. Fine.. 8" x 10" color gelatin print with 1/8" white border of a BA Concorde jet at the Filton, Bristol airfield. With British Air press stamp and other information on verso. The Concorde is a retired Anglo-French supersonic airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation. The airliner could maintain a supercruise up to Mach 2.04 [1,350 mph] at an altitude of 60,000 ft. Concorde entered service with Air France from Paris-Roissy and British Airways from London Heathrow. Transatlantic flights were the main market, to Washington Dulles and to New York JFK. Air France and British Airways remained the sole customers with seven airframes each, for a total production of twenty. Supersonic flight more than halved travel times, but sonic booms over the ground limited it to transoceanic flights only. The Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003, 27 years after commercial operations had begun. Most of the aircraft remain on display in Europe and North America.
