A short stay in Cardiff for the weekend enabled us to visit Aerospace Bristol, the home of Concorde.

The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde is a retired Franco-British supersonic airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). The first prototype flight took off from Toulouse on 2 March 1969.

Concorde entered service on 21 January of 1976 with Air France from Paris-Roissy and British Airways from London Heathrow. Transatlantic flights were the main market, to Washington Dulles from 24 May, and to New York JFK from 17 October 1977.

On 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590 crashed shortly after take-off with all 109 occupants and four on ground killed, the only fatal incident involving Concorde, and commercial service was suspended until November 2001. Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003 after 27 years of commercial operations.

A great image, Amelia. I visited a display Concorde in Paris some years ago and was struck by how confined it is - the fuselage diameter about that of a small commuter airlines.

Wow, 2 seats each side is luxury!
I remember them flying over the South Circular road into/from Heathrow when I was in London in the 80ies- what a noise!
