EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde, registration number G-BOAD, adorned in the livery of both Singapore Airlines and British Airways on opposite sides. The image was captured at Heathrow Airport in 1978, marking a unique moment in aviation history. The Concorde, a marvel of engineering and design, was the world's first supersonic passenger airliner, capable of reaching speeds over twice the speed of sound. This particular Concorde, G-BOAD, was the first Concorde to be delivered to British Airways in March 1976 and later leased to Singapore Airlines from 1977 to 1979. The image captures the Concorde's sleek and futuristic design, with its distinctive delta wing and gleaming aluminum surface. The Singapore Airlines livery on the left side of the aircraft features the national flag of Singapore and the airline's distinctive "Singapore Girl" logo. On the right side, the British Airways livery is prominently displayed, featuring the airline's iconic speed marque and the Union Jack. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the bustling activity of Heathrow Airport in the late 1970s, with other aircraft and airport personnel visible in the background. The Concorde's distinctive contrail can be seen trailing behind it, a testament to its supersonic speed and the incredible technological advancements of the time. This photograph is not only a stunning representation of the Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde, but also a reminder of the rich history and innovation in the world of aviation. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when supersonic travel was a new and exciting frontier, and the possibilities of air travel seemed limitless.
