EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous occasion of the inaugural commercial flights of the legendary supersonic airliner, Concorde, on January 21st, 1976. After seven years since its maiden test flight, this technological marvel took to the skies in a historic event that marked a new era in aviation. In this particular image, we witness one of these groundbreaking flights departing from Heathrow Airport in London. The British Airways Concorde embarks on its journey to Bahrain in the Middle East while simultaneously an Air France flight takes off from Orly Airport in Paris en route to Rio De Janeiro via Dakar, Senegal. The sheer power and grace of this magnificent aircraft are evident as it soars into the sky at the beginning of its historic voyage. This picture encapsulates not only a significant milestone for transport and aviation but also represents an emblematic symbol of progress and innovation during the latter half of the 20th century. Photographer Victor Crawshaw skillfully captures this iconic moment with precision and artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
