- (4 Dec 1977) Since January, 1976, Concorde has been flying a regular service to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. Now Concorde has reached another milestone in its history with the inaugural flight of the transatlantic service to New York. ® From Movietone's archives we take a look at some of the aircraft that in the past pioneered Civil Aviation, such as the 'Comet', the first passenger jet service, started 25 years ago, between London and Johannesburg. ® Earlier in November the Queen and Prince Philip arrived at Heathrow in Concorde, having flown from Barbados in a record time. It was Her Majesty's first trip in the supersonic plane. ® Concorde's inaugural flight to New York left London Heathrow at 10.29 and 3 hours 23 minutes later touched down at Kennedy Airport. The Air France Concorde also on it's first flight to New York, arrived just before the British Airways craft.

Concorde's first scheduled supersonic service to the US, both for British Airways and Air France, was on May 24, 1976 (not 1977) and was to Washington Dulles/IAD, not New York Kennedy/JFK. I was lucky enough to be there, on the front row of the observation deck at IAD. :-) BA's Concorde arrived from Heathrow/LHR, and AF's arrived from Paris/CDG. BA arrived first, followed 8-10 mins later by AF. (The FAA had refused the request to land simultaneously on parallel runways. The aircraft "touched noses" in front of the control tower. The first scheduled passenger service to New York JFK was not until 16 months later, on November 22, 1977. :-)
I like the Captain who gives a thumb up and doesn’t wear a tie. 👍😊
I flew on Concorde in 1976 to Bahrain and had my ticket autographed by the captain and Brian Trubshaw the test pilot
I really do regret never having been on a concorde. Too late now, alas.
Daniel Hammond yup it’s also too late for the QE 2. A long held childhood and into adulthood dream was to fly the Concorde and sail the QE 2; however, sadly neither one will be realized.
I did, last year, in Filton Museum, she is great !!
@@MrDaiseymay what?
How!!!
Why regret?! We both might fly on much faster jets at cheaper price in future! Why not?! ⛑️
Yep, I’ve seen them a few times on the tarmac when flying to Europe or back while on a 747, they look so small comparatively. Also had the QE2 come in to our local harbor a few years back and I pulled over out of my home commute to get close. A couple of queens forever gone.
I was at Dulles that day. My Mom was active in local area business/community/charities and there was some outdoor event at one of the hotels near the field. I was only 7 but distinctly remember watching the two planes come fly in one shortly after the other. Pretty cool now that I think about it.
06:51 - A loud machine that silenced it's critics ? - My dream of seeing a Concorde did not fulfill..but half fulfilled in 1999 when I heard its thunderous roar during its departure from Chennai (Madras) for its next destination, it flew right above our college campus, by the time I rushed out of the class room to get a glimpse, it was already out of sight from the spot where I was. I wish it flies again.
I worked at Heathrow back in the day. No more exciting sight seeing this bird take off or land. On its last week got chance to look round it whilst it was parked up at Terminal 4. Amazing to see cockpit all pre modern stuff...
Wow absolutely wonderful....the Concorde, the most beautiful Super sonic Airliner in the world. I hope that one Day they can make /or redesign the engines for a more eco-friendly when in terms of gasoline/money savings for an awaited comeback to the SKY of the great Concorde
I always think that
Great video. Thanks for posting! Miss you Concorde.
BA allowed the military to use it for practice. Many jet fighters in the world tried to catch it, but only one actually did and that was the English Electric Lightening which flew up alongside giving the thumbs up :) In fact there were only a handful of fighter jets that could even supercruise, let alone go Mach 2! And, this was a passenger plane! Just wow!
AND THAT---DEAR FANS, IS WHY A APOLLO ASTRONAUT SAID, 'CONCORDE WAS THE GREATEST TECHNICAL ACHEIVEMENT OF THE 20TH CENTURY, MORE SO THAN THE APOLLO MISSION. And that was because, as you have said, it was a passenger Airliner, that HAD to win a Airworthyness license.
Beautiful bird. Rip
back when the world was forward thinking
Yup
I went on a actual Concorde at Manchester airport!! It was cheap for a tour as well. So so good
I turned down a £200 one way flight on Concorde in the 1980s.
That'll be Alpha Charlie, the flagship Concorde of the BA fleet.
And in 2003, we went backwards. :(
100 percent right... We went backwards and never looked back. How pathetic.
Only air France and British who have Concorde and its mainly route only from jfk to lhr so why backward?
Aprecio muito vídeos de história. Merece minha inscrição.
Never seen thanks...she rocked that's why BA staff called it the rocket
They mention British Airways’s 747, but did not mention the Boeing 707, which by this time were inherited from boac.
Concorde the best aircraft - ever
Hai hallo..ilove this Videos and Ilove full for Concord Airplane..i hope some day..CONCORD AIRPLANE..REBORN for reguler Flights..god bless
The first flight commercial BAC Concorde of British Airways since 1977-2003.
I KNOW THESE SMART PEOPLES CAN DOT IT👌
esta noche nos vamos a studio 54 honey!
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how did they get the footage of the Concorde in flight? What other airplane could fly as high and as fast in order to keep up with it to photograph it, a military plane?
She was likely not cruising at full speed at the point the footage was taken
Well, we know that Concorde will always be remembered for her achievements. Hugh Scanlon... not so sure. 😄
There’s a distant memory that when concord made this flight the same time as the French one the tv screen was split to show both taking off at the same time.
3h 23 min ffrom LHR to JFK
The yanks were green with envy
Of course the French Concorde landed at JFK before the British counterpart, that would be a given.
You see, most people don't know that Concorde would not exist were it not for French President Charles de Gaulle. Reason being: development costs had been spiralling out of control, and as a result, Parliament was seriously thinking of cutting its losses and mothballing the project altogether. It took French strong-arming to continue the project, damn the fiscal consequences. Had it not been for this, Concorde would never have materialised. Interestingly--and appropriately--the first Concorde prototype to take to the skies was the one assembled in Toulouse, France.
This is not a dis to British aerospace designers and engineers; they were never the problem.
It was also President Charles de Gaulle who insisted that "Concord" be spelled "Concorde" instead, which incidentally is actually a French word, like many so-called "English" words, such as hotel (hôtel) and hospital (hôspital).
The whole project had an agreed clause, that research and production, could not be stopped without full agreement of BOTH partner's.
oh the list is massive--and thats why our language is the language of the WORLD .It adapted and adopted words from many countries. Unlike the French and German, which is mortified in the past.
And then the French killed it after the crash, Air France shoddy maintenance and poor cockpit drill by the crew contributed to the crash, Airbus finally withdrew Certificate of Airworthness. BA ran a successful, safe and profitable operation
shout out to the L-1011 in the background @ 0:45 XD
Still designing bi-plane passenger aircraft into the 1930s. Ford tri-motor-1925. Boeing 247-1933. DC 3-1936 were all monowing.
to see this machine takes 3hours to usa-kennedy aiport,in 2012 from lax california to heathrow 12hours by virgin atlantic
The planes are getting slower and slower. I takes longer to travel than before
iOS Tips and Tricks they are not getting slower and slower.
Buncha Not In My Back Yard housewives and retirees fr Long Island picketed JFK when the Concordes were due on their inaugural flights. They saw those planes weren't nearly as noisy as they feared (or wanted to justify their fears) and left so dismayed.
a disgraceful sour grapes fake campaign by renta crowd of idiots
Comet was a flying bomb, due to its windows
Toby Tang But in 1954 they reinforced the windows to circle and the Comet 4C was the safest comet
Toby Tang and the DC-10 is a death trap if it is still used
V1 was flying bomb.
The DC-10 is still in service as a cargo jet and as the KC-10. The DC-10 was a very popular (386 built) jet with the airlines and passengers and had a long service life. It was also the bases for the MD-11. There were two crashes caused by a flawed cargo door latch but that was quickly fixed. The Comet was rushed into service to be the first before being thoroughly tested and had to be totally redesigned.
الغربي جدو صنع طيارة وأنت جدك مذا صنع
Ese video es muy rancio
Concorde complete with a punishing amount of cosmic radiation for a gander at the curvature of the earth
Oh yes that radiation would really do you in, but we have WiFi and all that so I suppose small amounts would've been okay
You can see curvature of earth without going airborne.
AND "france" fucked it up.
