@vintageplanehunter: Concorde 001 First Flight 2nd March 1969 Concorde's first flight took place on 2 March 1969, when the 001 prototype took off from Toulouse in France. When the French test pilot landed Concorde for the first time, he simply said 'The big bird flies…'. The British-made prototype 002 flew from Bristol's Filton Airfield in the UK a few weeks later. #fyp #historicaircraft #concorde #aviationlovers #
