Detailing the Concorde - an aviation icon

Detailing the Concorde - an aviation icon
We are working this week on detailing National treasures.

This is a picture of Travis working on the engine of a Concorde while we are volunteering our services this week at the Museum of Flight.

A total of 20 aircraft were built in France and the United Kingdom; six of these were prototypes and development aircraft. Seven each were delivered to Air France and British Airways. Concorde's name reflects the development agreement between the United Kingdom and France. In the UK, any or all of the type—unusually for an aircraft—are known simply as "Concorde", without an article. The aircraft is regarded by many people as an aviation icon and an engineering marvel.[
