WINDSORMINT - Concorde in colour Set of 12 1952460

Concorde in colour Set of 12

2009 marks a majestic milestone in aviation history - 40 years ago an icon of aviation was born as Concorde "The Queen of the Skies" undertook her maiden flight from Toulouse on 2nd March 1969. The world’s first supersonic passenger aircraft was the result of a development phase of 15 years and unique collaboration between the French and British aviation industries - a fact reflected in her name which means unity or harmony. Her elegant, streamlined design was not only an outstanding technical achievement, but also a true design masterpiece. In October 2003, after nearly 35 years of flight and 25 years of passenger service, Concorde bid her farewell with a series of flights from Heathrow, visiting Birmingham, Belfast, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh.
