Concorde: A Photographic Tribute - Tapa dura

Concorde can surely claim to be the world's favourite aircraft. Its sleek lines and glamorous design made it an icon recognised all over the world. Travelling at twice the speed of sound at 60,000ft, to fly Concorde was the dream of many and the regular pastime of the lucky few. The rich and famous graced its all-first-class cabins, some time and again; Sir David Frost notably undertook around twenty flights a year on Concorde for an average of twenty years. Photographer Adrian Meredith spent many years shooting Concorde from every conceivable angle. Here he has collated his stunning artwork for the first time, to present a full colour tribute to this remarkable and memorable aircraft. Including information and photos from behind the scenes as well as significant milestones and detail on the passengers and personalities on board, this is a unique and beautiful photographic tribute.

Adrian Meredith has worked as a photographer in the aviation industry for thirty years, being the official Concorde photographer for her twenty-seven years of commercial service, from in-house photographer for BA to assignments all over the world. His first love has been shooting the Concorde, particularly air-to-air. He was given the honour of photographing the Queen Mother on Concorde to celebrate her eighty-fifth birthday, as well as recording the celebration of Concorde's 10th Anniversary.
