'FAREWELL CONCORDE'
UNIQUE COLLECTORS PORTFOLIO

Before you read on....

We honestly believe we have accomplished putting together what can only be described as
The ULTIMATE CONCORDE COLLECTORS PIECE!!

We flew 2 different Limited Edition Concorde Art Prints

30 x 'Concorde Comes Home' by Adrian Rigby
10 x 'Gathering Speed' by Ronald Wong
and
50 Photographs of Concorde G-BOAC landing at Birmingham International Airport
for the final time (size 18 x 12) by Andrew Brooks

ALL of the above mentioned prints were flown onboard Concorde G-BOAD
on Monday 10th November 2003 (Flt No BA9093)

This was the last ever flight of G-BOAD and was also the last ever flight
of a Concorde from London to New York and as you would expect,
the prints DID FLY SUPERSONIC AT MACH 2!!
G-BOAD retired after this flight.


From her first flight on 26th August 1976 to the 10th November 2003
Concorde G-BOAD flew 23,397 hrs and carried out 8406 landings

G-BOAD also recorded the fastest ever time for the crossing between the USA and the UK.
This was of course the fastest ever set by a passenger aircraft!
This was set by Captain Leslie Scott and his crew flying from New York to Heathrow in
just 2 hours 52 minutes and 59 seconds on the 7th of February 1996.

That’s not all...

They have ALL been Signed by Air Crew who have flown on the
most important flights that Concorde ever made...

Concorde's Very First and the Very Last Flight!!!
From the men who helped test her to the men who flew her at the end
and that includes Les Brodie who landed the very last flight of a Concorde
into Filton, Bristol on G-BOAF 26th November 2003


The significance of the flight our prints were flown on should also be noticed,
as the London - New York route flown by Concorde was the life line for the aircraft for many years!

When we consider all of the set backs and difficulties concerning public opinion, the super sonic boom
and air pollution issues when Concorde was being still being sold to the World in the 1970's.
It was the commercial service to New York which first took place from Heathrow on 22nd November 1977
which guaranteed a future for Concorde and thus afforded our generation the opportunity
to sit back in awe at the pure majesty of what was arguably,
the most incredible commercial aircraft ever built!

From the many many thousands of flights that have taken place from
Heathrow, London - England to JFK, New York - USA
our prints were flown on the very last one!!

Please Note:
All modern Limited Edition Prints are printed using Light Fast Inks! Ours have also been signed in pencil so they wont fade!
The 50 Photographs have been signed using a Light Fast Permanent Black Ink Pen
(The Photographs have been printed on Agfa paper. We contacted their technical dept to see what ink they
recommended using so the signatures would not fade?) They only recommended 4 different pens of which
we used one of them so the signatures on your prints shall not fade as nearly all others do!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was truly a moment in aviation history that shall never be repeated
and our ‘one off’ unique package that we are not only proud of but without any doubt,
can NEVER and SHALL NEVER happen again!

We feel this brings an interesting angle on the all too commonly used term ‘PRICELESS’ into perspective!

If YOU do want to own a Genuine Piece of Concorde History
DON'T MISS THIS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY!
You'll never get another chance to own something like this!
Equally, as a shrewd investment...
What would you value such a unique item in a few years time?
