G-BOAF Concorde RIAT arrival 1997

G-BOAF BAC/SUD Concorde 102, British Airways.

 

Seen here touching down at RAF Fairford, on a special enthusiasts charter from London Heathrow, Alpha Foxtrot announces her arrival at RIAT 1997 in smokey fashion, still one of my favorite images that I ever took of Concorde, way before her time, what an amazing aircraft.

 

She was withdrawn from service on the 2003 and flown to Bristol Filton where she remains preserved in the Concorde Visitor Centre.

 

Not bad for a 21 year old scanned 7x5 colour print.
