EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history - the first landing of the British built Concorde 002 prototype in April 1969. The sleek and revolutionary aircraft, designed by BAC Aerospatiale, graces the skies with its presence as it gracefully descends onto RAF Fairford's runway. With pilot Brian Trubshaw and co-pilot John Cochrane skillfully maneuvering at the controls, this groundbreaking flight lasted a mere 21 minutes. What makes this particular landing even more remarkable is the utilization of a parachute brake to ensure a safe touchdown. As the Concorde 002 glides through the air, defying gravity itself, its cutting-edge technology and engineering prowess are on full display. The photograph transports us back to an era when air travel was still shrouded in wonder and excitement. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. In an age where commercial use is not yet mentioned or realized for this magnificent aircraft, we can only imagine what possibilities lie ahead for such advanced transportation. Maurice Tibbles' expertly captured image immortalizes this milestone achievement forever. It invites us to marvel at both the beauty of flight and mankind's ability to conquer new frontiers in aviation.
