2nd March, 1969: The first flight of Concorde. To this day Concorde remains the only passenger jet airliner to fly supersonic. With a cruising speed of just over Mach 2, its London to New York flight time is around 3hrs 50mins.
December 2003 marks the 100th anniversary of manned, powered flight and Corgi Showcase is proud to commemorate this historic milestone with a comprehensive collection of twenty pioneering and iconic aircraft from the past century. From the Wright brothers to the first moon landing, all are covered in a series of five themed categories, which can be collected individually or in sets of four. As an added bonus Corgi are also producing a unique 100 Years of Flight Time-Line. Designed to display all 20 aircraft models from the 100 Years of Flight Collection, plus the collector data cards, the time line charts the development of flight through ten decades of advancement. It builds not only into an attractive display, but also a highly educational chronology of aviation history.
Designed as a part of a collaborative effort by Britain and France to create a supersonic airliner, the Concorde was first flown on March 2nd, 1969. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
