Concorde makes its first appearance at Farnborough Air Show, England by flying low over the spectators, September 7 1970. It must have been spectacular to have seen this for the first time! credit Jets n Props

Concorde was and will remain one of the most beautiful creations that aviation can give us, here an Air France Concorde lands in Rio.

Fourth coat of finishing oil on the #concorde #clock this afternoon. Starting to get a beautiful finish on that walnut grain, maybe one more coat tomorrow 🤔

Was thinking about purchasing a resin printer to create the main sections of the #concorde #clock , but thought I’d give my existing printer a test run on high settings. Very pleased with the results, it’ll take a bit of hand finishing but I think I can work with it 👍🏻😀
