EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Brian Trubshaw (left), the chief test pilot for the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Concorde, and John Cochrane, his deputy, are seen preparing for the maiden flight of Concorde 002 on 9 April 1969. The Concorde, an iconic supersonic passenger airliner, was a groundbreaking achievement in aviation technology. Trubshaw and Cochrane are standing on the flightdeck of Concorde 002, with the cockpit and control instruments in the background. Both pilots are dressed in their flight suits, with serious expressions on their faces as they ready themselves for the momentous occasion. The cockpit windows offer a glimpse of the runway and the vast expanse of the airfield beyond. The Concorde project was a joint venture between the British and French governments, with the goal of creating a supersonic passenger jet that could travel at twice the speed of sound. The aircraft's unique design, with its delta-wing configuration and advanced engines, required extensive testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Trubshaw and Cochrane played crucial roles in the development and testing of the Concorde. They conducted numerous test flights, pushing the aircraft to its limits and gathering valuable data to improve its performance. Their efforts helped make the Concorde a reality, and this photograph captures a significant moment in their journey. The maiden flight of Concorde 002 was a success, marking the beginning of a new era in aviation. The Concorde went on to set numerous speed records and became a symbol of innovation and progress. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the pilots and engineers who brought this remarkable aircraft to life.
