Hundreds of people were drenched by heavy rain as they pulled Concorde around an airfield
Hundreds of people were drenched by heavy rain as they pulled Concorde around an airfield at the end of a rope. They were making a record breaking attempt at raising money for physically and mentally handicapped children. The idea came from the Wickford Rotary Club. The plan is one of the static display aircraft on exhibition at the Duxford, Imperial War Museum. 9th September 1983

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 9th of September 1983, we witness a remarkable display of human strength and determination. Despite heavy rain pouring down from the gloomy skies above, hundreds of individuals come together to pull Concorde around an airfield at the end of a rope. Their purpose? To break records and raise funds for physically and mentally handicapped children. This awe-inspiring initiative was conceived by the Wickford Rotary Club, driven by their unwavering commitment to make a positive impact in society. The static display aircraft is currently showcased at Duxford's Imperial War Museum, serving as a reminder of this extraordinary feat accomplished during the vibrant era that was the 1980s. The image captures not only the relentless spirit of these selfless individuals but also pays homage to aviation history. Concorde stands tall amidst its supporters, symbolizing mankind's continuous pursuit of innovation and progress in flight technology. Alistar Macdonald skillfully immortalizes this momentous occasion through his lens, reminding us that even in adverse weather conditions, humanity can unite for noble causes. This photograph serves as a timeless testament to compassion and community solidarity – values that transcend time itself.
