Description
On 26 September 1973, Concorde, the supersonic passenger aircraft, made her first non-stop flight across the Atlantic.
The droopy-nosed plane took to the skies for the first time four years earlier.
Some campaigners believed that the speed of the aircraft might damage buildings.
In 2012 André Turcat, the French pilot of Concorde's first flight, spoke to Mike Lanchin.
