  • The Charles Harrison Collection of 'Concorde' Covers, Cards And
    First Session Lots 501–951 Monday May 23rd at 2 pm The Charles Harrison Collection of ‘Concorde’ Covers, Cards and Ephemera Charles Harrison (1924–2008) Most people will have their own memories of Concorde but for Charles Harrison, living only a few miles from R.A.F. Fairford, it will be the moment the British assembled Concorde prototype 002 touched down at 2.46pm on 9 April, 1969. Charles watched Concorde fly along the same flight path many times and never tired of hearing the roar of the engines and seeing the aircraft turning over Highworth, his home town, on its approach into the Fairford airfield. At the age of 15 Charles joined the Royal Air Force (1939) as an engineer apprentice and during the Second World War served in North Africa, Malta, Sicily and Italy as ground crew. Not one to miss an opportunity, Charles began to collect autographs from movie stars and entertainers on their visits to the troops. After the war he was stationed in Rhodesia and on leaving the RAF joined Vickers Armstrong at South Marston as a flight test inspector. Around the same time some of Concorde’s future pilots were Vickers Armstrong’s test pilots. In the 1950s Charles was involved with the Supermarine Swift, a single seat jet fighter, which could reach supersonic speed in a slight dive and it is not surprising that this is where Charles interest in supersonic flight and Concorde began. From Concorde’s early days at the Fairford Flight Test Centre to its commercial retirement, Charles arranged through friends and flight contacts for covers to be carried on many of Concorde’s flights including the development flights.

Former BA flight engineerDavid Macdonald gives us an insight into the extraordinary task of buying and test-flying new Concordes for British Airways. Concorde avionics engineer John Dunlevy was in- volved in the test flights carried out by the British pre- production aircraft G-AXDN to test vital systems such as the digital air intake control system. He recalls his role in the test flight programmes that formed the bulk of G-AXDN’s work. Lastly, in Concorde Watch, we hear from Heritage Concorde about the maintenance and refurbishment work that they have done on Concordes G-BOAC and G-AXDN to make these aircraft ready for viewing as the museums open to visitors once again.

  • The Day Concorde Flew Into the History Books. It Rsquo
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news THE DAY CONCORDE FLEW INTO THE HISTORY BOOKS News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown It’s 3.38pm on 2 March 1969 and the first page in the history of supersonic commercial aviation has just been written.By Stephane Defer – Photos: AIRBUS © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Commercial aviation took a supersonic leap into the future fifty years ago, when Concorde made its maiden flight. The roar of the engines is deafening as the flight crew push them to maximum power. After a long wait, cheers of encouragement and rippling applause reach fever pitch and Concorde 001 thunders majestically into the skies above Toulouse. It’s 3.38pm on 2 March 1969 and the first page in the history of supersonic commercial aviation has just been written. As Concorde’s four Olympus 593 turbines carry the aircraft into the distance the joy of the technicians, engineers, employees and onlookers witnessing the moment is plain to see. Six hundred journalists from around the world are at hand to report how ‘old Europe’ has met the challenge of melding speed and technology in service of passenger transport. The maiden flight, described by captain André Turcat as ‘a trip around the runway’ lasted just 29 minutes and did not exceed 480 kph. Alongside Turcat the crew consisted of flight mechanic Michel Rétif, flight engineer Henri Perrier and co-pilot Jacques Guignard. On the other side of the Channel captain Brian Trubshaw, co-pilot John Cochrane and flight mechanic Brian Watts coaxed Concorde 002 into the skies between Filton and Fairford for its first flight, even shorter at 22 minutes, on 9 April that same year.
