Waiting for Concorde-sonic boom experiment being carried out at Efford experimental
Waiting for Concorde-sonic boom experiment being carried out at Efford experimental horticultural station, near Lymington, Hampshire. Simulated booms are made by explosive and recorded on one of the greenhouses. The recording details are being carried out by a team from Sound and Vibration Research Dept, of Southampton University. The whole experiment is co-ordinated by Building Research Dept, of Ministry of public works and buildings.

Waiting for Concorde - Capturing the Sonic Boom Experiment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we are transported back to the Efford Experimental Horticultural Station near Lymington, Hampshire in 1969. The photo captures a team of dedicated scientists from Southampton University's Sound and Vibration Research Department as they eagerly await the groundbreaking sonic boom experiment. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of greenhouses, where simulated booms created by explosives reverberate through the air. One can almost feel the anticipation and excitement building among these brilliant minds who have gathered here to push the boundaries of aviation research. Led by the Building Research Department of Ministry of Public Works and Buildings, this ambitious project aims to study and record Concorde's thunderous sonic booms. These deafening sounds that accompany supersonic flight hold immense significance for aircraft design and safety. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a harmonious collaboration between science and engineering. The researchers meticulously document every detail of these explosive recordings with utmost precision. This remarkable photograph not only commemorates an era when scientific exploration was at its peak but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling nature's mysteries. It reminds us that progress is born out of curiosity, perseverance, and collective effort – qualities embodied by those captured within this frame.
