Available for over a year
21 January 1976: Concorde took to the skies on its maiden commercial flight. It was the world's first supersonic airliner, flying at speeds faster than a rifle bullet. Its iconic nose cone was designed in Cambridge by Marshall Aerospace. A Concorde test aircraft housed at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford played a vital role in the success of the first commercial flight. Dave Webster enjoyed first class treatment on a visit to see her.
