History of the Aircraft and facts:

 Without a doubt one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation, the Anglo-French BAC/SUD (Later BAe/Aerospatiale) Concorde was a supersonic transport aircraft which possessed performance that put most military fighters to shame. With two prototype aircraft built to prove the viability of supersonic flight for the civilian market, The British Concorde 002 (G-BSST) made its first flight from Filton on 9th April 1969  and joined its French counterpart at the Paris Airshow later the same year, where they both made their debuts. Ultimately, only Air France and British Airways would operate Concorde commercially and even though only 20 aircraft were built, they always represented the ultimate way to fly and a blue riband service for the rich and famous.
