EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment, Sir George Edwards, the esteemed Chairman of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), proudly accepts the British Type Certificate of Airworthiness for the iconic Concorde supersonic passenger aircraft from the honorable Lord Boyd-Carpenter, Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The ceremony took place in the late 1960s, marking a significant milestone in the development of this groundbreaking aircraft. Sir George Edwards, a renowned figure in the aviation industry, had dedicated his career to the design, manufacture, and testing of innovative aircraft. His tenure as Chairman of BAC was marked by his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of aviation technology. The British Type Certificate of Airworthiness is a crucial document that attests to the safety and airworthiness of an aircraft. Its issuance signifies that the CAA has rigorously tested and certified the Concorde as compliant with all relevant safety regulations. Lord Boyd-Carpenter, a respected figure in the aviation and political spheres, presents the certificate to Sir George Edwards in a formal ceremony. The two men exchange a handshake, symbolizing the successful collaboration between the regulatory body and the aircraft manufacturer. The Concorde, a marvel of engineering, was the world's first supersonic passenger aircraft, capable of reaching speeds over twice the speed of sound. Its revolutionary design and technology captured the imagination of the world and ushered in a new era of air travel. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of aviation, as Sir George Edwards accepts the British Type Certificate of Airworthiness for the Concorde, marking the beginning of its commercial service.
