This stunning old lady first took off over 45 years ago in April 1969 and, following seven years of extensive supersonic testing, her her last flight was made to the Fleet Air Arm Museum Yeovilton in July 1976, where she is preserved in one the Museum’s four exhibition halls.

Concorde 002 was the second prototype of this Anglo-French aircraft. She was assembled in Britain and made her maiden flight from the British Aircraft Corporation's plant at Filton, Bristol on the 9th April 1969.

Concorde 002 first achieved supersonic speed on the 25th March 1970 when she reached the speed of Mach 1.15; she hit her maximum speed of Mach 2.05 (approx 1,350 mph) on the 7th October 1971.

Afterwards I headed home on my own.
