This exceptional original advertising poster by British Airways showcases a remarkable piece of recent aviation history—the iconic Concorde! The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde, a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, held the distinction of being operated until 2003. With a maximum speed exceeding twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04 and seating for 92 to 128 passengers, Concorde marked a groundbreaking era in aviation. It took its first flight in 1969, a year that also saw the historic Moon landing.
This poster, capturing the essence of Concorde's supersonic allure, is in good condition. It bears witness to the passage of time with some age-related wear at the margins and on the image, including crumbles and small folds, which add to its vintage character.
