The Concorde’s Final Flight

Filed under: add to del.icio.us

It was built through a partnership between Britain and France and became an important symbol of European innovation after its inaugural flight in 1976. The Concorde was able to make the transatlantic voyage possible in just over three hours, but the aircraft was retired as a result of low passenger numbers and rising maintenance costs. Who was on the final flight?
