40 years ago today Concorde 002 (The first British prototype) took to the skies. Jaw droppingly beautiful, elegant, and at the time an engineering marvel (Still pretty damm good today IMO).

I know she wasn't very enviromentally friendly (What man made machine is?) but you have to admit, she had style! And still looks fast standing still!

So Happy Birthday old girl, you're still queen of the skies, even if you retired before your time.

Wassail!! Chris
