EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment Concorde 01, registration number G-AXDN, touches down at RAF Fairford for the first time at the end of its maiden flight on March 2, 1969. Concorde, a supersonic passenger airliner, represented a groundbreaking achievement in aviation technology. With its sleek, innovative design, Concorde was capable of reaching speeds over twice the speed of sound, making transatlantic travel between Europe and North America significantly faster than ever before. The image shows Concorde 01, the first of the two prototypes, as it gracefully descends towards the runway at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers and support personnel, the aircraft's distinctive delta-wing shape and gleaming aluminum surface stand out against the lush, green landscape. The moment of landing marks the successful completion of Concorde's first test flight, a significant milestone in the development of this iconic supersonic transport. The arrival of Concorde at RAF Fairford marked the beginning of an era of supersonic travel, which would forever change the way people crossed continents. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, designers, and pilots who brought this remarkable aircraft to life. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of a new chapter in aviation history, as Concorde 01, G-AXDN, made its first landing at Fairford, paving the way for a new generation of faster, more efficient air travel.
