The Concorde was a groundbreaking supersonic passenger jet developed jointly by Britain and France, entering service in 1976 and operating until 2003. Renowned for its sleek delta-wing design and powerful engines, it could fly at twice the speed of sound (Mach 2), reducing transatlantic flight times to just over three hours. Although celebrated for its technological innovation and luxurious experience, the Concorde faced challenges, including high operational costs, limited passenger capacity, and environmental concerns such as noise pollution. Its retirement followed a decline in demand after a fatal crash in 2000 and the economic impact of 9/11, marking the end of an era in supersonic commercial aviation.
There were only six members of cabin crew to look after the 100 passengers on board Concorde. With an average flight time of three and a half hours, Concorde flights required a skilled, efficient staff.
In April 1988 Frank Bruno was one of the celebrities to fly Concord to Aintree, Liverpool ahead of the 150th anniversary of the first Grand National. Out over sea, Concorde was allowed to go supersonic - travelling faster than a bullet. As a result of the Aintree promotion the Liverpool airport holds the world record for handling the most Concorde flights taking off and landing in any single day.
