1977 Concorde Filton Pilots Simulator
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are granted a unique perspective into the world of supersonic flight through the eyes of a Concorde pilot. The image, taken in July 1977 at British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Filton, captures the cockpit view from the Concorde simulator. The simulator was an essential tool for training pilots on the intricacies of flying the iconic supersonic passenger jet. The pilots' view is a breathtaking panorama of the rolling English countryside, punctuated by the vibrant green fields, winding rivers, and picturesque villages below. In the distance, the sky is a brilliant expanse of blue, dotted with scattered clouds that seem to beckon the Concorde onward. The cockpit instruments and controls are meticulously arranged before the pilots, their dials and levers gleaming in the soft light. The Concorde simulator at BAC Filton was a vital component of the rigorous training program for Concorde pilots. The simulator allowed pilots to experience various flight scenarios, from takeoff and landing to in-flight emergencies, in a controlled environment. This training ensured that Concorde pilots were among the most skilled and experienced in the world, capable of handling the demands of supersonic flight. The photograph serves as a fascinating snapshot of aviation history, offering a glimpse into the world of Concorde pilots and the cutting-edge technology that enabled supersonic travel. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the human spirit, as well as the awe-inspiring power and beauty of flight.
